Function find_program

pub fn find_program(program: &str) -> Option<PathBuf>
Expand description

The file a bare program name resolves to on PATH, the way the OS shell would find it.

Spawn agents through this, not by bare name: on Windows Rust’s std only tries name.exe, so a CLI installed as an npm .cmd shim (codex since its 2026-09-23 reinstall) is “not found” even though a shell runs it. On Windows an extensionless file is never a match: npm writes an sh script beside every .cmd shim, and spawning that fails with os error 193.
