Summary

• encodeProjectPath function only handled Unix / separators, causing project directory lookup to fail on Windows
• Windows paths use \ (backslash) and : (drive letter colon) which were not being converted to -
• On Windows, C:\Users\foo\project was left unchanged instead of becoming C--Users-foo-project

Root Cause

// Before: only replaced forward slashes
encoded := strings.ReplaceAll(absPath, "/", "-")

// After: handles Windows backslash and colon first
encoded := strings.ReplaceAll(absPath, "\\", "-")
encoded = strings.ReplaceAll(encoded, ":", "-")
encoded = strings.ReplaceAll(encoded, "/", "-")

Test plan

• Run cq doctor on Windows — Encoded: field should show C--Users-... format
• Run cq in a project directory — should find existing conversations
• Verify existing macOS/Linux behavior unchanged (forward slash handling order preserved)

Clean fix, merging. The UserHomeDir change will come separately.
