Research direction

Start with the unittest command shown in the issue and inspect how it is defined for npm. Run the command from Windows cmd and compare it with the current test entry point using index.test.ts, tsx, c8, and mocha. Done means the test suite starts successfully on Windows without the NODE_ENV command error.
