Subject: [PATCH] fix(tests): resolve 10 failing tests on Windows (#2307)

- resolve-formatter: stop findProjectRoot walk before os.homedir() to
  avoid mistaking global dotfiles (e.g. ~/.prettierrc) for a project root
- instinct-cli-projects: detect python3/python binary at runtime; skip
  gracefully when Python 3 is unavailable instead of crashing with null status
- command-registry: regenerate COMMAND-REGISTRY.json (was stale)
