What
The helper that decides whether to add a trailing separator to a Windows file path now first expands a leading ~ (representing the home directory) by resolving it, before running its usual directory and UNC (network path) checks.
Why
This makes home-relative paths (like ~\Documents) get normalized the same way as absolute paths, avoiding inconsistent handling of a common shorthand for the user's home folder.
