fix: only quote paths on Windows to prevent macOS/Linux spawn() errors#156
Conversation
The path_to_quoted_string() function now only quotes paths on Windows, where the proxy uses shell mode. On Unix systems, the proxy uses spawn() with shell:false, which treats quotes as literal filename characters, causing "No such file or directory" errors. - Use runtime platform check to conditionally quote paths - Extract format_path_for_os() helper for testability - Add unit tests for Windows, Mac, and Linux behavior

Summary
Fixes a regression introduced in #151 where path quoting broke the Java extension on macOS and Linux.
Closes #155
Problem
PR #151 added double-quote wrapping to paths to fix spaces-in-path issues on Windows. However, this broke macOS and Linux because:
spawn()withshell: false, which treats quotes as literal filename charactersThis caused "No such file or directory (os error 2)" errors on macOS/Linux because the system was looking for files like
"/path/to/java"(with literal quotes in the filename).Solution
