  1. 🐛 fix(windows): avoid FileNotFoundError in sandboxed environments (#422) 

    * 🐛 fix(windows): pass KF_FLAG_DONT_VERIFY to SHGetKnownFolderPath

SHGetKnownFolderPath with default flags (0) verifies that the target
folder physically exists, raising FileNotFoundError in sandboxed
Windows environments where USERPROFILE points to a directory without
AppData\Local. This was a regression introduced in 4.7.0 when PR #380
replaced SHGetFolderPathW with SHGetKnownFolderPath.

Passing KF_FLAG_DONT_VERIFY (0x00004000) restores the pre-4.7.0
behavior of returning the expected path without existence checks,
matching how the old SHGetFolderPathW API worked.

Closes #421

* test(windows): use real ctypes on Windows CI

On Windows, call get_win_folder_via_ctypes with the real Windows API for
each CSIDL name to verify integration. Reserve mock-based tests for
non-Windows where ctypes Windows bindings don't exist.

* fix(tests): resolve unused type-ignore warnings on Windows

Move ctypes.WinDLL mock assignment into _setup_ctypes_mocks so the
type: ignore comment only exists in one place that ty can reason about.
