Windows compatibility parity tracker #1

Description

@tsavo-at-pieces

Goal

Achieve total and complete compatibility for cli_script on Windows (windows-x64 + windows-arm64) while keeping Linux/macOS behavior stable.

Failing reference run

Current failure clusters (10 tests per Windows runner)

  • Absolute glob expansion (ls_test.dart, cli_arguments_test.dart)
  • Subprocess environment propagation and includeParentEnvironment: false behavior (sub_process_test.dart)
  • Locale-sensitive ProcessException stderr assertion (sub_process_test.dart)
  • LF vs CRLF bytes expectation in outputBytes test (sub_process_test.dart)

Linked implementation issues

  • Absolute glob expansion on Windows
  • Subprocess environment behavior on Windows
  • Windows-specific stderr/line-ending test robustness

Compatibility standard (acceptance)

  • CI passes on windows-x64 and windows-arm64
  • No Windows-only failing tests in ls_test.dart, cli_arguments_test.dart, sub_process_test.dart
  • Platform-specific behavior is explicitly documented where expected (signals, line endings, environment casing)
  • No regressions on Linux/macOS

Notes

This is the parent tracking issue for completion and release readiness.
