Research direction

Read src/libcrun/handlers/wasmedge.c, starting at the linked path around line 222, and identify where the trailing space is introduced. Correct the path so it refers to the intended WasmEdge directory without a trailing space. Run the relevant existing tests if available; done means the path no longer contains the extra whitespace and the WasmEdge handler can locate the expected directory.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
