Fix Windows spawn EINVAL error by enabling shell execution
Problem:
When running the Web UI on Windows, the backend fails to execute the CLI command using child_process.spawn, resulting in the error “spawn EINVAL”. This prevents the deobfuscation process from running and no output files are generated.
Cause:
On Windows, .cmd files such as npm.cmd must be executed within a shell environment. Calling spawn without enabling shell execution causes the process to fail with an EINVAL error.
Solution:
Add “shell: true” to the spawn options in the runDeobfuscate function so that npm.cmd is executed correctly on Windows.
Impact:
This fix restores Web UI functionality on Windows systems. It does not affect behavior on Linux or macOS and maintains backward compatibility.
Test:
Verified that CLI usage works as expected. Verified that the Web UI can successfully execute deobfuscation and generate output files on Windows after applying the fix.
