## Open now

- #120504: Cron \`.sh\`/\`.bash\` job scripts on Windows resolve to the WSL stub \`bash.exe\` and fail with \`execvpe(/bin/bash) failed\`
- PR #120509: fix(cron): resolve .sh job scripts through Git Bash, not the WSL stub
- PR #120974: fix(cron): use _find_bash instead of bare which for script jobs on Windows

These items address a bug where cron job scripts ending in .sh or .bash on Windows incorrectly resolve to the WSL stub bash.exe rather than Git Bash, causing execution failures. The fixes replace bare \`which\` lookups with a dedicated helper to find the correct bash interpreter.
