The minimize-then-SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE approach flickered and sometimes lost the
restore race (window stayed minimized). Root fix: when the window was open
before the hotkey (ARestoreAfter), skip the minimize entirely — being the
foreground process is exactly what allows handing focus to the target, so the
window simply stays in place beside it. Tray-origin flow keeps the old
minimize (the window is a temporary overlay, trayed after the fill anyway).
Safety: if the target refuses the foreground (elevated / UIPI) and our window
is still foreground, bail before typing — otherwise the password would be
typed into the vault's own visible UI.
