YOMXXXandGitHub 1b4084ced0 fix(desktop): route shell:open-path through explorer.exe on WSL (#1581) (#3298) ...

On WSL Electron, clicking "Continue in CLI" handed the validated project
directory to shell.openPath, which delegates to xdg-open on Linux.
xdg-open on common WSL installs routes inode/directory MIME through the
default browser via wslu, so the click landed on a Chrome tab showing a
file:// directory listing instead of a native file manager.

Detect WSL via os.release().includes("microsoft"), translate the resolved
POSIX path with `wslpath -w`, and hand the Windows path to explorer.exe so
the host's Explorer opens the folder. Fall back to shell.openPath for
non-WSL Linux, macOS, native Windows, and WSL setups where wslpath or
explorer.exe are missing.

Pull the routing decision into a pure helper (open-path.ts) so the WSL
branch is unit-testable with mocked deps, mirroring the dependency-
injection pattern createDesktopUpdater already uses. Path validation
(validateExistingDirectory, isOpenPathAllowedForProject) stays in front
of the new branch — no change to the allowlist gate.
