研究方向
Investigate how nvm windows handles paths with special characters in user folder names. Look at the Go code for npm installation path resolution, particularly how the user's home directory is extracted and used. Consider using Windows API functions like GetEnvironmentVariable or Go's os.UserHomeDir() which may handle special characters differently. Test with a username containing diacritics to reproduce the issue.
