test: make both suites pass on Windows

2026-09-27T20:21:26Z

Most of these failed on Windows for reasons that had nothing to do with the code under test, which is how real Windows defects hid among them: - Read and write files as UTF-8, and talk to Node in UTF-8. read_text(), write_text() and subprocess text=True use the locale codepage, cp1252 on Windows: "é", "—" and "→" arrived as "?" or crashed, some sixty tests. Calls to PowerShell and schtasks are left alone -- they answer in the console codepage. - Import ESM harness modules by file URL (as_uri): a raw "C:\..." path is not a module specifier. - test_cli_golden: mask the tmp path in its JSON-escaped form, spell it the POSIX way, record on Linux, mask the protocol version (the recording had failed everywhere since the MNP 4.0 bump) and argparse's version-dependent quoting; point USERPROFILE at the tmp home, or `member invite` and `operator pair` wrote their codes into the developer's profile. - test_disk_io_off_loop: expect what a free loop can reach on the platform's timer, 15.6 ms on Windows, not an assumed 5 ms. - test_root_paths_are_operator_only: expect the OS's spelling of the path. - test_audio_meta_cache: find ffprobe with shutil.which. Node suite on Windows: 1489 passed, none failed. Hub suite: 3 failures left, all older than this change (two SQLite concurrency tests, one transfer resume). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

test(hub): read the transport wherever it is split

2026-09-25T10:07:49Z

spa_source.transport_files() takes the classic transport*.js scripts from the hub's shell, in load order. Every test that read transport.js reads them all, the Node harnesses run them joined as one scope, the chat probe loads each, and the desktop shell must load them in order.

fix(hub): a reconnect re-reads the index, not just the handshake

2026-09-19T15:13:17Z

_reconnectLoop re-did the handshake and nothing else, so a page kept whatever it last saw until someone reloaded it. That is invisible until the node restarts: it rebuilds its index from index_cache.db, which holds no enrichment, and Music is the one app whose enrichment is persisted nowhere — for the length of the re-read pass it serves tracks with no artist, and the album grid drew nothing. onReconnected was one slot the video player took on open and cleared on close; it is a listener set now, and carries the fresh ack. docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md §15.3 records the two defects found alongside and not fixed here.
