Windows client: remote file list/stat/read resolves POSIX paths to C:\home\... and fails #21

Plugin version

0.8.18

DSH version

0.2.2-rc.1 (DSH Desktop, Windows 11 client). Remote DSH 0.2.1-rc.2 on Ubuntu 24.04 (workspace /home/ubuntu).

Area

Remote files

Reproduction steps

1. Connect an SSH host and create a remote workspace with path /home/ubuntu (it gets mirrored locally).
2. With the mirrored Session id, call the plugin's own endpoint (same one the Settings/file UI uses), e.g.:

POST /api/dsh-remote
{"endpoint":"host/files/list","payload":{"sessionId":"<local mirror session id>","path":"/home/ubuntu"}}

3. Also tried path: ".", path: "/home/ubuntu/.bashrc", and host/files/stat / host/files/read.

Expected behavior

Remote file list / stat / read returns the remote directory contents (/home/ubuntu).

Relevant logs

All calls fail with a Windows-resolved POSIX path:

{"ok":false,"error":{"code":"internal","message":"not found: C:\\home\\ubuntu"}}

path "foo.txt" fails with not found: C:\\home\\ubuntu\\foo.txt.

Probable cause (0.8.18 bundle): targetOf() uses node:path (resolve, isAbsolute, relative, sep) for the remote POSIX path. On Windows, path.resolve("/home/ubuntu") becomes C:\\home\\ubuntu, and that string is sent to the remote agent as remotePath.

Suggested direction: use node:path/posix for remote paths (containment check + remotePath), and keep platform node:path only for the local anchor path.
