On Windows, risky paths hidden inside --flag=value arguments or NT device paths are now caught.

What

On Windows, the check that spots risky paths in commands now unwraps --flag=value arguments and re-checks the value, and flags NT object paths containing a /??/ segment.

Details
  • A normalizer collapses repeated \??\ prefixes before the check runs.
  • The cygwin-style /c/... to C:\ conversion is now done inline rather than through a helper that was removed.
  • The sandbox path validator now uses the same shared UNC and device-path check as the rest of the detector.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
