Description

Based on https://github.com/vojtajina/testacular/issues/249

Let's add another if (windows) and handle the absolute paths on windows to something like /absolute/c/path/to/file.js.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how absolute paths are currently handled in the codebase, particularly on Unix. Implement a Windows specific path normalization that converts absolute Windows paths (e.g., C:\path\to\file.js) to a forward slash format like /absolute/c/path/to/file.js. Ensure tests pass on both Windows and Unix.
