Research direction
Start by tracing how Invoke reads the configured shell and launches commands, then reproduce the Windows case with a shell path containing spaces. Done means a path returned by shutil.which('pwsh.exe') works without requiring an 8.3-format workaround; add or update coverage if the relevant test location is identified.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
When setting shell to shutil.which('pwsh.exe') on my Windows system, I noticed invoke couldn't handle the path with spaces. So I am using a workaround that converts the path to 8.3 format. It would be nice if this were handled by invoke automatically.
