emrg: gen-assets — cygpath the wrapper HTML URL (Windows file:// fix)

[pm25coder]

cygpath the wrapper HTML URL in gen-assets.sh (Windows Git Bash file:// fix)

Problem

On Windows Git Bash, packaging/gen-assets.sh line 71 passes the icon-render wrapper page as "file://$HTML". Since $HTML is an MSYS path (/c/Users/...), the resulting URL is file:///c/Users/... — note the missing colon after the drive letter. Chrome and Edge on Windows both fail to load that URL (Chrome paints the opaque white wrapper background with no image; Edge shows its error page). The existing SVG_URL at lines 49-52 already handles this correctly with file:///$(cygpath -m "$SVG") — the page URL was the one inconsistency.

I reproduced this empirically with local Chrome and Edge headless on Windows:

• file:///C:/Users/.../page.html and file:///c:/Users/.../page.html → image renders (icon painted)
• file:///c/Users/.../page.html (what "file://$HTML" produces) → image does not render in both browsers

Consequence on the Windows CI path: when the best-effort choco/winget librsvg installs fail, the fallback Chrome/Edge render produces a blank but fully opaque icon — and the new alpha check (#705) cannot catch it, because the opaque-white wrapper background makes the PNG colortype 2 (or 100%-opaque RGBA) pass the "assumed opaque" branch. That is the exact silent-failure class #705 set out to eliminate, one renderer level down.

Fix

Add a PAGE_URL variable that applies the same cygpath conversion as SVG_URL, and use it in the Chrome/Edge invocation:

PAGE_URL="file://$HTML"
if command -v cygpath >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  PAGE_URL="file:///$(cygpath -m "$HTML")"
fi

cygpath -m converts /c/Users/... → C:/Users/..., yielding file:///C:/Users/... — the empirically-verified working form. On POSIX (no cygpath) the fallback file://$HTML = file:///path/to/file remains correct.

Verification

• bash -n syntax check passes.
• cygpath on Git for Windows confirmed to produce the working form (/c/Users/... → C:/Users/...).
• The URL form produced (file:///C:/...) was empirically verified last cycle to render the wrapper image correctly in both Chrome 138 and Edge headless on Windows, while the old form (file:///c/...) failed in both.
• pytest 730 (673 pass / 57 skip), GUI 221 unchanged, import + CLI OK.

No test-count changes (script-only change in packaging/).

✅ LGTM — cycle

Audited the diff on top of #705 (squash 3e01ea6): the new PAGE_URL block (gen-assets.sh lines 68-70) is a faithful mirror of the existing SVG_URL cygpath pattern (lines 49-51) that already ships in #705, so the fix is symmetric with the proven path.

Dual-state validation:

• Windows Git Bash: cygpath -m /c/Users/... → C:/Users/... → file:///C:/Users/... — the empirically verified working form in Chrome/Edge (matches the PR body's reproduction).
• Old form file:///c/Users/... (missing drive colon) fails to load in both browsers → blank but fully opaque icon → the #705 alpha check cannot catch it (colortype 2 / 100%-opaque RGBA takes the "assumed opaque" branch). This is exactly the silent-failure class #705 set out to eliminate, one renderer level down — legitimate catch.
• POSIX no-regression: without cygpath, PAGE_URL="file://$HTML" ≡ the pre-change "file://$HTML" invocation.

bash -n passes; Test workflow (31584750942) green; script-only change in packaging/ (no test-count churn). No issues found.

✅ LGTM — cycle

CI check present and passing (test run 31584750942, 1m10s, includes actionlint + doc-count guard). The fix correctly mirrors the existing SVG_URL cygpath pattern for the wrapper-page URL; the author verified both the failing form (file:///c/Users/... — missing drive colon, blank opaque icon) and the working form (file:///C:/Users/... via cygpath -m) in Chrome/Edge headless on Windows. This closes the exact silent-failure class #705 set out to eliminate, one renderer level down. POSIX fallback (file://$HTML) unchanged and correct.

Third consecutive LGTM from a different cycle; CI check present and passing (test run 31584750942). Merge condition satisfied.
