When does this happen?

IF On Windows, spawning commands like `npx` via `child_process.spawn` fails with ENOENT because they are not standalone executables.

How others solved it

THEN Replace `child_process.spawn` with the cross-spawn npm package (as suggested in PR #95). Cross-spawn handles path resolution and environment differences across platforms, eliminating the need for manual shell wrappers.
