fix(terminal): normalize Windows cwd for Git Bash bootstrap

[kingshukkundu]

What does this PR do?

Fixes a Windows terminal bootstrap bug where Hermes stores native cwd values like C:\Users\Kingshuk and injects them directly into Git Bash cd commands. Git Bash expects MSYS-style paths like /c/Users/Kingshuk, so session bootstrap and wrapped commands can fail before the terminal is usable.

This keeps self.cwd in native OS format for Python-side filesystem handling and converts only at the bash boundary. LocalEnvironment normalizes Windows and UNC paths for cd, and BaseEnvironment.init_session() now routes bootstrap cwd handling through the same quoting and normalization helper used for wrapped commands.

This complements #23866, which focuses on MSYS-to-Windows normalization for paths coming back from bash. This PR fixes the opposite direction: native Windows cwd values going into bash.

Type of Change

• 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• ✅ Tests (adding or improving test coverage)

Changes Made

• Route BaseEnvironment.init_session() cwd handling through _quote_cwd_for_cd
• Add overridable _normalize_cwd_for_cd() in tools/environments/base.py
• Add _windows_to_msys_path() and LocalEnvironment._normalize_cwd_for_cd() in tools/environments/local.py
• Add Windows regression coverage in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py

How to Test

1. On Windows with Git Bash, set the terminal cwd to a native Windows path like C:\Users\Kingshuk.
2. Trigger Hermes terminal session bootstrap and run a simple command like pwd.
3. Confirm the session initializes successfully and no longer fails with cd: C:\Users\Kingshuk: No such file or directory.
4. Confirm wrapped commands still preserve native cwd values for Python-side path handling.

Documentation & Housekeeping

• I've considered cross-platform impact (Windows, macOS) — the normalization hook is overridden only in LocalEnvironment and preserves existing behavior elsewhere
• No config, schema, or workflow docs changes were needed

Screenshots / Logs

• Targeted local validation confirmed:
  • C:\Users\Some Name\project -> '/c/Users/Some Name/project'
  • \\server\share\folder -> //server/share/folder
• Full pytest was not available in the system Python used for this local checkout

Code Review Summary

Verdict: Approved

Looks Good

• Fixes Git Bash bootstrap on Windows: paths with spaces (e.g. C:\Users\Some Name\project) are now properly converted to MSYS-style POSIX paths (/c/Users/Some Name/project) before being passed to builtin cd.
• Handles both regular Windows paths and UNC paths (\\server\share\folder).
• _normalize_cwd_for_cd override in LocalEnvironment for Windows-specific path translation.
• No security concerns, no debug artifacts.

Superseded by PR #56384, which fixes this at the root: it reorders _find_bash() so Git for Windows always beats the WSL shim on PATH (one canonical MSYS bash), then converts the native cwd C:\Users\x → /c/Users/x at both cd sites. This makes the /mnt/c vs /c dialect mismatch impossible rather than translating around it. Thanks for the fix — the cleanest implementation of the same conversion was salvaged with authorship preserved.
