Description
Summary
It's not working since the herdr support is introduced, I have tried to locate the issue by then but forget to post the issue. Now I'm here to provide the finding through AI:
HERDR_SOCKET_PATH is a regular file, not a named pipe. Its contents are a rendezvous string:
17472:1789874021129905200
That is <herdr-server-pid>:<nonce>. The herdr CLI reads this file and connects to the real endpoint; the path itself is not
connectable.
sendHerdrLine() in dist/cli.mjs hands that path straight to net.createConnection():
const o = he.createConnection(e.socketPath);
On Windows this can't work. Node/libuv treats a filesystem path as a pipe name, so it tries something like \\.\pipe\C:\Users\...
\herdr.sock and fails immediately. The error is swallowed by design (o.on("error", s), a 250 ms timeout, and .catch(() => {})),
so the integration fails silently and the user sees nothing.
Please help fix this. Before the native support, I use third party plugin and it works somehow, now it totally breaks.
