fix: resolve Windows path handling issues in MDX processing
Summary
This PR addresses critical path handling issues that caused build failures on Windows systems. The changes ensure consistent behavior across all platforms by implementing proper cross-platform path handling.
Changes Made
Replaced hardcoded path separators with path.relative() for proper cross-platform compatibility
Normalized path separators to forward slashes (/) in slugs for consistent URL handling
Fixed path comparison logic that previously relied on platform-specific separators
Resolved ENOENT errors that occurred during build processes on Windows
Fixed file path resolution issues when processing MDX files with nested directories
Eliminated path casing inconsistencies between Linux and Windows environments
Ensured slug consistency regardless of the operating system
Maintained proper relative path calculations for both content linking and asset resolution
Standardized path handling throughout the MDX processing pipeline
Technical Details
Uses Node.js path module methods instead of string manipulation
Implements forward slash normalization for web-compatible URLs
Maintains backward compatibility with existing content structures
Testing
Verified build success on both Windows and Linux environments
Confirmed consistent slug generation across platforms
Tested nested directory structures and special character handling
Impact
Fixes: ENOENT errors and build failures on Windows
Improves: Developer experience for Windows users
Maintains: Full backward compatibility with existing sites
