Problem

On a Windows node, :ide didn't list the directory and couldn't create files ("touch not recognized").

Cause

RemoteWorkspace ran POSIX commands (ls -Ap, cat, touch, mkdir -p, test, printf | base64 -d) in the node's session shell family. On a PowerShell or cmd node, ls is Get-ChildItem (no -Ap) and touch doesn't exist.

Fix

• File operations on a PowerShell or cmd node run through PowerShell (shellFamily: powershell), which every Windows has:
  • .NET file APIs, which take paths literally ([, ] and * in names are safe)
  • Test-Path -LiteralPath
  • listings and contents travel as base64 of their UTF-8 bytes, so non-ASCII names and text survive the console code page
  • writes are chunked (≤16,000 base64 characters per command, under the 32,767-character Windows command line); the first chunk creates the file, the rest append
  • no double quotes in the scripts, which would pass through Windows' command-line quoting
  • try/catch that exits 1 with the message on stderr
• Git Bash nodes keep the POSIX commands, which work there.
• Windows paths use / (C:/Users/u), which matches git's form so the gutter lines up. resolveRemoteIdeRoot takes D:\proj and \\server\share as absolute. A drive root keeps its slash (C:/), and a share keeps its leading //. The test caught POSIX normalization collapsing //.

Tests

• test/integration/ide_remote_workspace_test.dart (tagged windows): the real workspace against a real node over a real Hub. On Windows it goes through PowerShell, elsewhere through POSIX. It covers:

  • listing with dot-entries and non-ASCII names
  • creating a file with missing parents, and again (content kept)
  • directories
  • non-ASCII write and read
  • a multi-chunk write, and truncation
  • an empty file
  • a quote, brackets and spaces in a path
  • missing paths and failures
  • exec in the root

  It passes locally through POSIX; CI's Windows job runs the PowerShell path.

• test/unit/ide/ide_windows_test.dart: root resolution (relative, absolute, shares, drive roots, POSIX unchanged), plus script quoting, no double quotes, failure handling and chunking.

Release

• 1.64.1 is tagged, so this bumps to 1.64.2 (pubspec.yaml, lib/src/version.dart), with a CHANGELOG entry.
