* fix(relay): open the real null device when detaching Windows stdio
`openSync('NUL')` does not reach the null device on Windows. node's fs runs
the path through `toNamespacedPath`, which resolves it against cwd and
prefixes `\\?\` — and that prefix turns off DOS device-name mapping, so
CreateFileW creates a regular file named `NUL` in the relay's install dir
and pins fds 0/1 to it instead of to a discard sink.
Verified on a Windows 11 host: `fs.openSync('NUL', 'w')` + a 5-byte write
produced a 5-byte file named `NUL` in cwd. `\\.\NUL` is passed through
`toNamespacedPath` verbatim; the same write discards and a read answers
EOF, with no file created.
It also escaped into shipped artifacts. release-cut.yml runs the relay
watcher fault harness with cwd = out/relay/win32-x64, so every Windows
installer since v1.4.169 carries `resources/relay/win32-x64/NUL`, which
NSIS extracts as `_NUL`.
* test(relay): prove the `\\?\` rewrite on a drive-letter path
`toNamespacedPath('NUL')` off Windows only resolves against a POSIX cwd and
stops; with no drive letter it never reaches the branch that adds `\\?\`. So
the assertion held for the wrong reason and did not demonstrate the rewrite
the comment describes. Assert it on an absolute drive path, which takes the
same branch on every host.
