The test was expecting forward slashes to always be converted to backslashes, but normalizePath() only does this on Windows (process.platform === 'win32'). On Linux/Unix, forward slashes are preserved.
Improved the fix by:
1. Removing relative path assertion from the "as is" test since it doesn't match intent
2. Adding a dedicated test that validates platform-specific behavior naturally without mocking
3. Using the actual platform instead of unreliable Object.defineProperty mocking
This approach is more reliable and clearly documents expected behavior per platform.
