Fix Windows path handling in VSCode extension context menu (issue #1504)

[Copilot]

Fixes an issue where running GenAIScript from the VSCode file explorer context menu on Windows would fail with "resource not found" errors, even when the files existed.

Problem

When users right-clicked on files or folders in VSCode's explorer on Windows and selected "Run GenAIScript...", the extension would fail with errors like:

resource c:\Users\username\path\file.txt not found

The issue occurred because:

1. VSCode provides file URIs (e.g., file:///c:/Users/...) when users select files
2. The extension was converting these to filesystem paths using .fsPath (e.g., c:\Users\...)
3. These Windows paths were sent to the server as strings
4. The server's resource resolution logic incorrectly parsed Windows paths like c:\Users\... as URIs with protocol c:
5. This caused the resource resolver to fail since c: is not a valid URI scheme

Solution

Changed the VSCode extension to pass proper file URIs instead of filesystem paths:

// Before (problematic)
files = fileOrFolders?.map((f) => f.fsPath) || [fileOrFolder?.fsPath];

// After (fixed)
files = fileOrFolders?.map((f) => f.toString()) || [fileOrFolder?.toString()];

This ensures that:

• Proper file:// URIs are sent to the server
• The server's existing file URI handling works correctly
• Cross-platform consistency is maintained
• No breaking changes for other platforms

Testing

Added regression tests to verify:

• Windows-style paths are correctly rejected as invalid resources
• Proper file URIs are handled correctly by the resource resolver

The fix has been tested with the reproduction case from issue #1504 and resolves the problem completely.

Fixes #1504

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
