//! Platform-specific program resolution for MCP server execution.
//!
//! This module provides a unified interface for resolving executable paths
//! across different operating systems. The key challenge it addresses is that
//! Windows cannot execute script files (e.g., `.cmd`, `.bat`) directly through
//! `Command::new()` without their file extensions, while Unix systems handle
//! scripts natively through shebangs.
//!
//! The `resolve` function abstracts these platform differences:
//! - On Unix: Returns the program unchanged (OS handles script execution)
//! - On Windows: Uses the `which` crate to resolve full paths including extensions

/// the kernel's shebang (`#!`) mechanism, so this function simply returns
/// the program name unchanged.

/// the full path to the executable, including necessary script extensions
/// (`.cmd`, `.bat`, etc.) defined in `PATHEXT`.

/// This enables tools like `npx`, `pnpm`, and `yarn` to work correctly on Windows
/// without requiring users to specify full paths or extensions in their configuration.
