The Node fallback shim accepts a Bun.spawn options object and forwards
only stdio, env and cwd to child_process.spawn. windowsHide is dropped,
and because Node defaults it to false while Bun.spawn hides the console
window, the omission inverts the behavior on the one platform the shim
exists to support.
Symptom: the terminal-agent respawn in server.ts (60s watchdog ticker)
pops a visible bun.exe console window on Windows every time it fires,
so the window keeps coming back with no scheduled task or startup entry
behind it. stdio:'ignore' silences the child's output but does not
suppress its window.
Both shims now forward the option and default it to true, matching the
Bun API being emulated; an explicit windowsHide:false still passes
through. spawnTerminalAgent also sets it explicitly at the call site.
Tests: three cases in browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts assert the
default for spawn and spawnSync and that an explicit false is honored.
Each was confirmed to fail against the unpatched shim.
Drive-by, required to run the suite at all on Windows: the tests
interpolated an absolute path into a JS string literal, so backslashes
were consumed as escapes and every require() failed with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The path is now normalized to forward slashes. On
Windows this file went from 0/4 passing to 7/7.
`bun test browse/test/bun-polyfill.test.ts` was **0 pass / 4 fail on Windows**
before this — every test in the file, on the platform the polyfill exists to
support.
Each test interpolates the polyfill's absolute path into a single-quoted JS
string passed to `node -e`. On Windows that path has backslashes, so JS eats
them as escapes:
'C:\Users\jwilk\dev\gstack-fork\browse\src\bun-polyfill.cjs'
-> C:Usersjwilkdevgstack-forkrowsesrcun-polyfill.cjs
(`\b` is a real escape, so it deletes a character too.) `require()` throws, the
subprocess dies, stdout is empty, and every assertion compares against "". The
tests pass on macOS and Linux purely because those paths have no backslashes.
Fixed by interpolating with `JSON.stringify(polyfillPath)`, which quotes and
escapes correctly on all platforms.
Also adds a regression test for the windowsHide fix in the previous commit. It
stubs `child_process.spawn`/`spawnSync` *before* the polyfill destructures them
and asserts the captured options, so it is deterministic and needs no window —
it verifies the contract on macOS and Linux too, where the option is a no-op.
Verified on Windows: 5 pass / 0 fail with the fix, and the new test alone fails
("VISIBLE" instead of "HIDDEN") when the previous commit is reverted.
* fix: Windows support — Node.js server fallback for Playwright
Setup hangs on Windows 11 because Bun's child_process can't handle
Playwright's --remote-debugging-pipe (fd 3/4 pipe handles). Fall back
to Node.js on Windows for both the setup verification and server
runtime. macOS/Linux completely unaffected — all Windows code behind
IS_WINDOWS / process.platform === 'win32' guards.
Based on community PR #194 by @sozairali. Fixed sed -i portability
(perl -pi -e) in build-node-server.sh for macOS compatibility.

* fix: cross-platform path handling for Windows compatibility
Replace hardcoded '/tmp' and 'dir + "/"' path checks with
platform-aware constants from new platform.ts module. On macOS/Linux
this evaluates identically ('/tmp', '/'); on Windows it uses
os.tmpdir() and path.sep. Zero behavior change on Unix.
