Summary

Allow Cairn to launch through the standard Microsoft Store Windows Terminal App Execution Alias when Node cannot stat the alias and returns EACCES.

The exception is narrowly limited to .exe paths beneath %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps. Missing aliases (ENOENT) continue searching later PATH entries, and repository-local executables remain excluded.

Validation

  • six launch-profile unit tests
  • extension syntax check
  • confirmed local wt.exe alias returns EACCES
  • cold review found no remaining high-confidence issues
