When running on Windows systems, the STARTUP_CODE template's file assignment could fail due to unescaped backslashes in the Windows path. This occurs when formatting the path string into STARTUP_CODE, as Windows paths (e.g., "C:\Users...") contain backslashes that need proper escaping in Python strings.
The fix uses Path.as_posix() to convert Windows backslashes to forward slashes, which Python handles correctly across all operating systems. This ensures the path string is properly escaped when inserted into the STARTUP_CODE template.
