fix: WSL UNC paths break bash and git on Windows

Bug

On Windows, when the project directory is accessed via a UNC path (\\wsl$\...), tools like bash, file search, and git all break because Windows-native path handling doesn't understand UNC paths.

Details

Many Windows developers work inside WSL for toolchain access while opencode runs natively on Windows. When the project lives in WSL, the path comes through as \\wsl$\distro\mnt\c\... which no native Windows tool can handle.

Suggested Fix

Detect UNC paths and translate to WSL equivalents, run git/shell commands through wsl.exe, translate results back.

I've verified this exists in the latest version
