Summary
Adds Windows support for Primer by properly handling the Copilot CLI on Windows.
Problem
On Windows, the Copilot CLI is installed as a .cmd\ wrapper file that cannot be directly spawned by Node.js \�xecFile(). The VS Code Copilot CLI shim (\copilot.bat) is also broken on Windows (see microsoft/vscode#291990).
Solution
ode\ + \cliArgs\ approach to run
pm-loader.js\ directly on Windows
Changes
ode\ with npm-loader.js path
Testing
Tested on Windows 11 with:
px tsx src/index.ts instructions --repo .\ ✅
px tsx src/index.ts analyze\ ✅
px tsx src/index.ts tui\ ✅
