I think I read about something like this in one of Knuth's books many years ago. I was hoping that a solution would be hidden away somewhere deep inside Unix. Any chance of increasing the value of W, even a little?
You covered the primary technique in your original note, hiding the app. This, and all other potential techniques are subject to the whims of the user.
An ideal solution would be to run your application and the scripted application under a different user, but AppleScript applications need access to the Window Server, which is owned solely by the current logged in user.
So your value of W is vanishingly small.
If you want a unix solution, write a command line tool with no UI. It can run under a hidden process and can only be killed by the user, not messed with.
