Description

Would like to make nv fully cross platform, but it currently doesn't work for windows. Not expecting a big lift here, probably just some minor Windows specific logic needed, particularly around launching applications in the nv run -- command.

Should get tests to run for Windows too.

Research direction

Start at the CLI entry point for nv run -- and trace how it launches applications, then review the existing tests and their platform assumptions. Reproduce the command on Windows, make the platform-specific behavior work, and ensure the test suite runs successfully on Windows.
