/**
 * Cross-Platform Path Standardization for Bruno Configuration Files
 *
 * Bruno stores relative paths in configuration files (bruno.json) that are committed to version control.
 * This creates cross-platform compatibility challenges when Windows and Unix users collaborate on the same project.
 *
 * PROBLEM:
 * - Windows users naturally create paths with backslashes (e.g., "certs\\client.pem")
 * - Unix systems don't recognize backslashes as path separators
 * - When a Windows user commits a bruno.json with Windows-style paths, Unix users cannot resolve these paths
 * - This forces manual path conversion before git commits, which is error-prone and inconvenient
 *
 * SOLUTION:
 * - Standardize all stored paths to POSIX format (forward slashes) across all platforms
 * - Windows natively supports forward slashes as valid path separators
 * - Use the posixify parameter to ensure consistent path storage
 * - This enables seamless collaboration between Windows and Unix developers
 *
 * IMPLEMENTATION:
 * - Always enable posixify by default when storing paths in configuration files
 * - Client certificates, protobuf files, and other relative paths should use POSIX format
 * - Both platforms can then resolve the same paths accurately without manual intervention
 *
 * BENEFITS:
 * - No manual path conversion required before git commits
 * - Consistent behavior across all platforms
 * - Improved developer experience for cross-platform teams
 * - Reduced git conflicts and merge issues related to path differences
