- #85406: \[Windows host + Docker terminal\] \`vision_analyze\` fails for sandbox-side local paths — host-side \`Path()\` mangles POSIX separators into backslashes before the container exec-read

On Windows hosts, Path() converts sandbox-side POSIX separators to backslashes before the container exec-read, breaking vision_analyze. The members cover the bug report and two fix attempts targeting POSIX path normalization.
