fix(utils): convert MSYS Git paths to Windows paths on Windows (AI-assisted) - #12839
The problem: on Windows, docusaurus build crashes when Git comes from MSYS2.
Why it happens: MSYS2's Git writes a folder as /d/a/my-site, where a Windows program expects D:\a\my-site. Docusaurus passed that text straight to fs.realpath. Node.js read the leading /d as an ordinary folder on the current drive, looked for D:\d\a\my-site, and found nothing:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, realpath 'D:\d\a\docusaurus\docusaurus'
Why CI never caught it: Git for Windows prints D:/a/my-site, which works. The existing Windows job uses that Git.
The fix: on Windows only, /d and /d/... are converted to D:\ and D:\... before the call to fs.realpath. Windows paths and longer POSIX paths such as /home/user are left as they are.
Test Plan
As you asked on #11920, a new CI job, Windows MSYS Build, reproduces the report end to end, with no custom repro code. It:
installs MSYS2's Git with msys2/setup-msys2;
stops if Git doesn't print a /d/... path, so the job can't pass without testing the bug;
runs docusaurus build on the website from an MSYS2 shell.
Step

CI
Job only, without the fix

failure: ENOENT: no such file or directory, realpath 'D:\d\a\docusaurus\docusaurus'
Both runs are on my fork. The job uses windows-latest because windows-8-core isn't available on forks.
Unit tests cover fromGitBashPath and both Git root resolvers. Run them with pnpm vitest run packages/docusaurus-utils/src/vcs.
This is a build-time path fix with no UI impact, so no dogfooding page applies.
AI assistance
AI tools were used for this PR. The earlier commits on this branch should have carried the (AI-assisted) tag and don't; I left them unchanged so the review history stays intact.
On Windows, Git Bash / MSYS reports repository paths as POSIX "mount"
paths such as `/c/Users/foo` instead of `C:\Users\foo`. Passing these to
Node's filesystem APIs resolves `/c` as a directory under the current
drive root (e.g. `C:\c\Users\foo`), so the build fails with an ENOENT on
a path like `P:\p\projets\...` instead of `P:\projets\...`.
Normalize the output of `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` and
`--show-superproject-working-tree` on Windows, converting a `/<drive>/...`
mount path back to a real Windows path before calling `fs.realpath`.
Standard Git-for-Windows output (`C:/...`) and POSIX paths are unchanged.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Adds fromGitBashPath to convert single-letter mount paths to uppercase-drive Windows paths. Tests cover converted paths and inputs that remain unchanged.
The change corrects Git Bash repository paths on Windows while preserving paths on other platforms. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains, subject to normal checks.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #11920 requires correct Windows conversion of Git Bash/MSYS mount paths before filesystem resolution. fromGitBashPath converts /p/projets/my-repo to P:\projets\my-repo and uppercases the drive letter. normalizeGitPath applies this conversion only on Windows. getGitRepoRoot and getGitSuperProjectRoot use the normalized value before fs.realpath. Tests cover both resolvers on Windows, non-Windows pass-through, drive-root paths, standard Windows paths, and POSIX paths.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The regex requires a slash after the drive letter, so fromGitBashPath('/c') returns /c rather than the Windows drive root. Both Git-root resolution paths would then pass that value to fs.realpath.
Root resolution may fail with ENOENT or resolve a different directory instead of C:\.
This can occur when: On Windows, Git Bash reports a repository or superproject located at a drive root as /c.

Make the subpath optional in fromGitBashPath so a repository located at a
drive root, which Git Bash reports as `/c`, maps to `C:\` instead of being
passed through unchanged to fs.realpath.
Add a Windows-mode test for the repository root resolvers.
The new drive-root assertions only call fromGitBashPath. No test runs getGitRepoRoot or getGitSuperProjectRoot with Git Bash output and process.platform set to win32. Removing normalizeGitPath from the fs.realpath calls at gitUtils.ts:295 or gitUtils.ts:326 leaves the suite passing. Stub the Git command output and the platform, then assert the path passed to fs.realpath.

Add Windows-mode tests for getGitRepoRoot and getGitSuperProjectRoot that
stub the Git command output, force process.platform to win32, and assert each
resolver passes a normalized Windows path to fs.realpath. The tests fail if
normalizeGitPath is removed from either resolver. They live in a separate file
so their module mocks do not affect the real-Git integration tests.
Add a POSIX case for the platform guard in normalizeGitPath.
Both resolver tests in this file force win32. Removing the process.platform === 'win32' check in normalizeGitPath still passes this suite and the real-Git tests. On Linux, a Git-returned path such as /c/project is a valid absolute path that passes through unchanged today. Without the guard, fromGitBashPath rewrites it to C:\project. fs.realpath can then fail on that relative path.
Add a test that sets process.platform to linux and expects both resolvers to pass the POSIX path through unchanged. The afterEach hook restores the original platform.

Add a non-Windows case to the resolver wiring tests: with process.platform
set to linux, a Git-returned `/c/project` path reaches fs.realpath unchanged.
This guards the win32 check in normalizeGitPath, so the test fails if that
guard is removed.
Use the i flag and named capture groups in the drive-path regex, as regexp/use-ignore-case and prefer-named-capture-group require, and wrap the comments to 80 columns. Behaviour is unchanged.
Git for Windows prints native paths, so the Windows tests can't reach meta#11920.
Only the MSYS2 build of Git prints /d/a/... paths: this job runs docusaurus
build with it.
