Research direction

Start in plenary.test_harness at harness._find_files_to_run and inspect how it uses the find command to locate *_spec.lua files. Compare that behavior with plenary.scandir as suggested, then verify that the harness discovers and runs the matching specs on Windows.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This is beacuse currently plenary.test_harness use find to get all *_spec.lua, but windows builtin FIND is quite different from gnu find, which leads harness._find_files_to_run return an empty result.

function harness._find_files_to_run(directory)
  local finder = Job:new {
    command = "find",
    args = { directory, "-type", "f", "-name", "*_spec.lua" },
  }

  return vim.tbl_map(Path.new, finder:sync())
end

May be it is better to use plenary.scandir to do such a thing?
