Decode known literal file URLs with explicit path semantics before assigning filesystem-expression context. Preserve unknown drive, UNC, dynamic and malformed inputs and existing source-relative projection.
Validation: 64 path-owner and 26 filesystem application tests pass. Fixes#2561.
Based on #3147.

Node's path.join does not reset at an absolute segment, so
path.join(__dirname, '/preload.js') is <dir>/preload.js. The static path
projection skipped the __dirname anchor and joined the remaining parts,
which turned that common spelling into the root path /preload.js. In an
app whose main script lives in src/, the BrowserWindow preload was then
reported not-found, or resolved to an unrelated preload.js at the artifact
root, and the utilityProcess.fork target was never resolved. String
concatenation had the same defect: path.dirname(__filename) +
'/preload.js' projected to /preload.js, and __dirname + '/preload.js'
stayed unknown.
A source directory now contributes "." to a join, so path.join(__dirname)
projects to "." like path.resolve(__dirname). A concatenation that starts
with __dirname or the source file's dirname keeps text that begins with a
separator inside that directory; other text extends the directory's own
name and stays unknown. The empty-string projection of
path.dirname(__filename), which produced the wrong concatenation, is
removed, so a bare path.dirname(__filename) is unknown like a bare
__dirname.
Reuse semantic module provenance for aliases and keep property path segments intact through Electron matching. Reject shadowed names and nested or dotted lookalikes. Reassigned and conditionally initialized module origins remain ambiguous, with their source origins retained.
Add a compiled CLI/stdio MCP regression for windows, preloads, context bridges, IPC operations, pairing, and source ranges. Validate 771 JavaScript domain tests, seven composition tests, the public acceptance workflow, build, and check:fast.
Fixes#1656
Share parser modes and collision-free composite keys, enforce architecture guards, and consolidate redundant unit assertions into filesystem, CLI, MCP, and producer-backed workflows. Preserve concurrent upstream boundary fixes and exclude legacy Objective-C class-name bookkeeping labels.
Validation: source/composition suites (3358 passing), focused canonical digest and MCP checks, typecheck/lint, Knip, formatting, architecture guards, and real Foundation archive and Apple legacy simulator CLI/MCP verification. No real Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA verification claim.
