The Windows hand-off script runs from the PRE-update checkout, spawned from
HERMES_HOME by the Desktop. e7eaff68 shipped the post-update verify step
without the cwd pin that landed a day later, so verify_windows_desktop_update(Path.cwd())
looked for apps/desktop/release under ~/.hermes and reported a healthy,
fully updated install as "The updated Desktop executable is missing" (exit 8,
error dialog, app relaunched fine).
Derive the root from the imported hermes_cli package instead; the ps1 no
longer passes a cwd. The cwd pin stays as belt for the other child steps.
Native Windows run 34096838164 reports false success for absent and corrupt executables, missing bundle files, missing chunks and missing or stale stamps. Reuse the existing build identity and PE validators, and check interpreter presence before waiting for Desktop. Preserve dependency recovery and exit-2 refusal behavior.
