[cherry-pick] nes: fix: normalize Windows workspace path casing - #333610

PR classified as community.

⚠️ This PR is labelled cherry-pick-artifact but did not qualify for the reduced cherry-pick approval requirement: the patch differs from source PR #333429 (git patch-id or whitespace-sensitive mismatch) — not an identical cherry-pick. The standard requirement applies.

⚠️ Head commit is NOT signed by a trusted team member, so the full 3-approval requirement applies. (Head commit signature not verified (reason: unsigned).)

Tip: to earn the credit (−1 approval), the head commit must be signed by you with one of your own keys listed in security/trusted-signing-keys.csv. A "Verified" badge that GitHub adds to commits it creates on your behalf — web-editor edits, applied suggestions, Codespaces, API commits — does not count.

✅ Collaborator approvals: 6/3 (hediet, roblourens, vritant24, dmitrivMS, DonJayamanne, anthonykim1).

✅ No newly added runnable binary files.

✅ No protected engineering system files changed.
