Fix Windows agent PATH registry lookup

The release fixes a Windows-only bug where opencove agents could not read the registry PATH correctly, which could prevent command discovery during normal agent execution.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Corrected Windows PATH retrieval in the agent execution path by fixing registry access/handling so the agent can obtain executable paths instead of failing when PATH is unresolved.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Windows users running opencove agents can run jobs and related tooling without manual PATH workarounds, because agents are now able to find commands from system PATH as intended, which reduces startup/configuration failures during local and CI workflows. After deployment, monitor environments with custom PATH management or locked-down registry permissions, since those setups can still block command resolution even with the registry-read fix.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether Windows agent becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around AI Workflow Automation.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: custom_registry_paths, permission_limited_registry_access.
