3rd VM e2e — big progress: with #8's int32 fix, Shell Launcher now engages on the sm-bootstrap autologon (kiosk shell up, no Explorer/taskbar). But the launcher errored:

Start-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'LiteralPath'.
+ Start-Process -LiteralPath 'C:\Program Files\SilverOS\Welcome\SilverOS.Welcome.App.exe' -Verb RunAs

Start-Process has no -LiteralPath parameter — only -FilePath. The -LiteralPath came from #7-era "robust quoting" review tweaks that were never runtime-validated (the originally-proven autounattend launch used -FilePath). So the kiosk shell ran but the Welcome app never launched.

Fix: -FilePath in both the Shell Launcher launcher (Start-WelcomeShell.cmd) and the RunOnce fallback. Single-quote escaping unchanged.

Verified: parses clean; no other Start-Process -LiteralPath in the tree. Next: rebuild → restage → 4th VM run — expecting the glass-card kiosk to finally come up.

3rd VM e2e — big progress: with #8's `int32` fix, **Shell Launcher now engages** on the `sm-bootstrap` autologon (kiosk shell up, no Explorer/taskbar). But the launcher errored: ``` Start-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'LiteralPath'. + Start-Process -LiteralPath 'C:\Program Files\SilverOS\Welcome\SilverOS.Welcome.App.exe' -Verb RunAs ``` `Start-Process` has **no `-LiteralPath` parameter** — only `-FilePath`. The `-LiteralPath` came from #7-era "robust quoting" review tweaks that were never runtime-validated (the originally-proven autounattend launch used `-FilePath`). So the kiosk shell ran but the Welcome app never launched. **Fix:** `-FilePath` in both the Shell Launcher launcher (`Start-WelcomeShell.cmd`) and the RunOnce fallback.

3rd VM e2e: Shell Launcher now ENGAGES (kiosk shell up, no Explorer), but the
launcher's 'Start-Process -LiteralPath ...' errored — Start-Process has no
-LiteralPath parameter (that was an unvalidated review tweak; the proven form
is -FilePath). So the kiosk shell ran but the Welcome app never started. Revert
both the launcher and the RunOnce fallback to -FilePath. Single-quote escaping
of the path is unchanged.
