+// Regression: Windows drive-letter doubling (#95)
+//
+// On Windows, `new URL(import.meta.url).pathname` returns `/C:/foo/bar`
+// (leading slash). Passing that to `path.resolve()` or `path.join()` on
+// Windows produces a doubled drive letter like `C:\C:\...`. The canonical
+// fix is to use `fileURLToPath()` from `node:url`, which strips the leading
+// slash on Windows.
+//
+// These tests verify the contract that `fileURLToPath` behaves correctly on
+// both POSIX and Windows-style file URLs, and that the source no longer uses
+// the raw `.pathname` accessor for local path construction.
