WalkthroughPath expansion now resolves environment variable references. Unix paths support ChangesCross-platform path environment expansion
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Windows paths expanded from environment variables may contain mixed separators, which can affect path handling. The change is otherwise mergeable with this minor compatibility issue tracked. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

variable-expansion logic around the path replacement statement, converting
backslashes to forward slashes to match the existing normalization applied to
literal input and USERPROFILE-derived paths.

Normalize substituted path values.
Line 2563 inserts value without converting \ to /. For example, %USERPROFILE%/Projects returns a mixed-separator path, although line 2531 normalizes literal input and the ~/ branch normalizes USERPROFILE. Normalize value before concatenation.
Proposed fix
- path = path.substr(0, left) + value + path.substr(right + 1);
+ path = path.substr(0, left) + value.replace_char('\\', '/') + path.substr(right + 1);📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
