This fixes two issues I noticed when trying to use the preview feature on Windows. After accounting for these, the diff preview seems to work nicely on Windows.
Claude preview installcommand generates mixed-path-delimiter paths in thesettings.local.json. The base bath of the plugin uses\as the path delimiter, but the part within the plugin dir uses/. It looks like Claude is executing commands in Bash, so it doesn't like the backslashes. This updates the code to normalize the paths to forward slashes, which work on all modern Windows versions.python3command does exist, but it's not actually python3. It's a wrapper script that redirects you to download Python from the Windows store (which is dumb IMO, but that's not the point). In addition, some Windows Python 3 builds (e.g. the one I install via Ninite) install only apython.exe, despite still being a valid Python 3 installation. This adds explicit version check inClaude doctorand a note in the README that you can fix this with a symlink.
