Add Support for WSL Environments With Windows-stored Obsidian Vaults#84
Merged
Conversation
Intention is to be on top of #76 but I didn't realize it wasn't from a branch
If we're reading into the windows-stored config.json, then the paths are going to be windows filepaths. This simply applies the same "mnt translation" from the config path lookup to the vault path.
Previously adjustForWslMount only handled C: drive paths. Now detects any drive letter (A-Z) and translates to the corresponding /mnt/ path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

getPathForVault matches by strings.HasSuffix(path, name), so vault
names must be a suffix of the configured path. The original tests used
arbitrary keys ('windows', 'secondary', 'linux') that never matched,
causing all three WSL tests to fail since PR Yakitrak#84.

Description
Modifies the obsidian path resolution logic to include an additional check before failing in the case the user is running in WSL. The path resolution will instead do an additional lookup in the users Windows home directory (which is mounted for access from WSL) for the obsidian config
Modifies the vault path resolution logic to include an additional check in the case that we are in a WSL environment. If the received vault path is a windows file path, then we translate it into the WSL-mounted equivalent.
