execFileSync('node_modules/.bin/tsc') spawns an extensionless shim
that is not executable on Windows (the CVE-2024-27980 class the
sibling scripts hit); the catch treated the spawn failure as a compile
failure with empty diagnostics. The .cmd shim would need shell:true,
which concatenates args unescaped - a hazard for the temp project
path - so invoke typescript/bin/tsc through the current node instead;
identical behavior on every platform.
Note this gate had never actually run on this Windows checkout: with
the pre-eol=lf CRLF working copy the fence regex matched no ts blocks
('.' does not match \\r), so it reported 'no ts code blocks to check'
and exited green. The LF working tree surfaced the spawn bug; with
this fix the gate compiles all 21 blocks on Windows.
