Subject: [PATCH] Fix command execution on Windows and improve error reporting

On Windows, the wayfinder:generate command may fail when executed
within Vite's process context due to shell resolution or working
directory differences.

- Capture Vite's resolved root via configResolved hook and pass it
  as cwd to exec, ensuring artisan is found
- Explicitly set shell: true for cross-platform compatibility
- Include stderr in error messages for easier debugging

Fixes #10
