#1221: two path-format test failures on Windows

Problem: on Windows two tests failed on main although the app is fine; they assumed
macOS/Linux path formats.

Fix: the CLI test strips the verbatim path prefix that canonicalize adds on Windows (a
child's current_dir() never reports it); the host sink test uses a drive-letter path on
Windows (a path rooted without a drive is joined to the home drive by the engine, the test
expected the current drive). Test code only.
