 * Pure matching of a probed vault base path against a requested vault path.
 *
 * The desktop CDP transport routes an `evalInObsidian` call to the correct
 * Obsidian window by probing each target's `app.vault.adapter.getBasePath()` and
 * comparing it to the requested vault path. That comparison must tolerate benign
 * formatting differences between the renderer-reported base path and the
 * Node-side path (path-separator flavor, and case on case-insensitive
 * filesystems), so it lives here as a pure, unit-tested helper rather than as a
 * raw `===` inside the integration-only transport module (which is excluded from
 * unit tests).
