Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: use list buffer for subprocess stdout concatenation

Optimizes string buffering in `lib/linux/process.py` when draining the stdout of owned subprocesses. Previously, chunks were concatenated using the `+=` operator, resulting in O(N^2) time complexity. By replacing this with a list buffer (`pending_list.append()`) and joining only on newlines or at EOF, performance on heavy output streams is significantly improved.

Additionally, this change skips the regex split evaluation entirely if no newline is found in the current decoded chunk.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(windows): resolve PSScriptAnalyzer warnings for empty
 catch blocks

Add `$_ | Out-Null` to intentionally empty `catch { }` blocks in `AutoOS.ClaudeAutostart.psm1`, `AutoOS.Detect.psm1`, and `AutoOS.Serve.psm1` to satisfy `PSAvoidUsingEmptyCatchBlock` rule in `PSScriptAnalyzer`, resolving Windows CI failures.
