Module path_bridge 

Windows ↔ WSL2 path translation bridge.

Provides bidirectional path translation between Windows and WSL2 path formats, handling drive letters, UNC paths, Unicode, and spaces.

Path Translation Rules

Windows → WSL2:

• C:\Users\alice → /mnt/c/Users/alice
• D:\data\file.txt → /mnt/d/data/file.txt
• \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\alice → /home/alice (UNC WSL path)

WSL2 → Windows:

• /home/alice → \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\alice
• /mnt/c/Users → C:\Users

Unicode and Spaces

All translations preserve Unicode characters and handle spaces correctly. Round-trip translation produces the original path for supported formats.
