In WSL, Windows .exe files cannot be executed directly - they need to go through cmd.exe. This fixes the "Exec format error" when running `brev open cursor` or similar commands in WSL. Changes: - Add isWSL() helper to detect Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add wslPathToWindows() to convert /mnt/c/... paths to C:\... - Add runWindowsExeInWSL() to run Windows executables via cmd.exe - Update runVsCodeCommand, runCursorCommand, runWindsurfCommand to detect WSL and use cmd.exe for Windows executables This allows users in WSL to seamlessly open VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf installed on the Windows side.
