std::fs::canonicalize on Windows returns \\?\C:\..., which git refuses
("not a git repository"): every argument handed to git now has the
extended-length prefix taken off (root::without_extended_prefix, with a
unit test that runs everywhere; \\?\UNC\ becomes \\). The access-record
test's fixture is a FIFO in the log's place, which Windows has no
counterpart for; the refusal path is the same code on every system, so
the test and its helper are Unix-only. main (8f0e5f08) merged in.

Windows steps 3 of D-62. Every `cfg(unix)` gate on the host, the bridge,
the opener, the books server and the command line is gone: they build on
every OS, and the Unix behaviour is unchanged (the existing over-the-wire
suites pass on Linux).
`ledger_mcp::ipc` is the one seam for the channels. Unix: the same 0600
sockets as before, peer uid unchanged (the peer functions moved here).
Windows: a named pipe `\\.\pipe\wanderbooks-<hash of the root's run/>-<name>`
made with a DACL of one allow entry for this account's SID, remote
clients refused, the first instance made once (a second server is
refused, as a held lock refuses it on Unix), and 16 idle instances kept
waiting so a client never finds all busy while the server makes the next.
Where Unix reads `SO_PEERCRED`, each end of a pipe takes the other's
process id (`GetNamedPipeClientProcessId`/`...ServerProcessId`) and
compares that process's token user with its own SID; any doubt is "not
us". Clients open with SECURITY_IDENTIFICATION so a pipe server cannot
act as the client. A blocking client with a read limit is polled with
PeekNamedPipe (a pipe read cannot be cut short), and a pipe that has
gone reads as the end of the stream, as a closed socket does. Stop
signals are Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Break, console close and shutdown where Unix has
SIGTERM, SIGINT and SIGHUP.
The host starts detached (DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP,
leaving the opener's job when the job lets it: an agent's job must not
take the host down, as an app's systemd scope must not on Linux) with a
fixed environment; `close_range` and `seccomp` stay Linux-only (D-32). A
replaced program is told by size and last write. Git for Windows is found
and a quiet git is stopped with its tree (`taskkill /T`). The test
harness of ledger-cli finds its root by `default_root`, cleans a child's
environment per OS and reaches the server over its pipe; the bridge's
scripted-server tests stay Unix-only.
No new dependency (tokio's named pipes and reqwest's `windows_named_pipe`
were already in the build); `windows-sys` stays in ledger-store.
Tests: ledger-mcp `ipc::tests` (four on every OS, one Windows only),
ledger-host `tests/windows_pipe.rs::a_second_user_cannot_open_the_pipe`,
Windows variants of the host and start tests.

Books an update could write a newer format for open on their old format
and are asked at every open; anything needing a new feature is refused
until the owner agrees with the passphrase, after a verified backup that
includes the keys. New books start on the current format. Each projection
schema has its own database file, so an older version still opens the
books until the owner agrees.

The server backs each book up itself: a per-book git archive, pushed
fast-forward only to a git remote and to a folder, when the books open,
after a quiet spell, before they close and on request; every commit,
push and drill is a record in ops/backup.jsonl. Drills clone each
target and verify the chain, the blobs, the vault and the head, weekly
and after a failure. `wanderbooks books restore` previews, then
restores beside or (with --replace) over, never moving books something
holds. The archive refuses anything but a plain bare repository and
pins git against the owner's configuration. books.backup and
books.back_up_now for the agent.
