fix(executors): launch Forge without shell interpretation

[tbinna]

Summary

• launch Forge through executable and argv boundaries without shell evaluation
• preserve deploy and register option values containing whitespace or shell metacharacters
• use cross-spawn for Windows package-manager shims, with its version centralized in the workspace catalog
• run build and unit tests across Ubuntu and Windows while keeping authenticated E2E on Ubuntu

Verification

• pnpm nx run nx-forge:build --skipNxCache
• pnpm nx run nx-forge:lint --skipNxCache
• NODE_OPTIONS=--throw-deprecation pnpm nx run-many --target=test --all --parallel=2 --skipNxCache
• pnpm exec commitlint --from HEAD~1 --to HEAD --verbose
• git diff --check

Closes #209

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved Forge command execution across Windows and POSIX environments.
  • Fixed developer space ID handling, including values containing special characters.
  • Preserved command arguments, environment settings, working directories, and error reporting during asynchronous operations.

• Tests

  • Expanded coverage for registration, deployment approvals, cross-platform execution, and failure scenarios.
  • Streamlined continuous integration checks so end-to-end validation runs after quality and build checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces shell-based Forge command execution with cross-spawn, forwards executor arguments as separate values, adds launcher and register tests, and separates CI quality, build/test, and E2E jobs.

Changes

Forge execution changes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shell-free Forge launcher package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, packages/nx-forge/package.json, packages/nx-forge/src/utils/forge/async-commands.ts, packages/nx-forge/src/utils/forge/async-commands.spec.ts	runForgeCommandAsync passes parsed executable arguments to cross-spawn without shell evaluation. Tests cover package-manager shapes, argument preservation, environment, working directory, exit handling, and Windows shims.
Executor argument forwarding packages/nx-forge/src/executors/register/executor.ts, packages/nx-forge/src/executors/register/executor.spec.ts, packages/nx-forge/src/executors/deploy/executor.spec.ts	The register executor passes --developer-space-id and its value as separate arguments. Register tests cover argument forwarding and manifest patching. Deploy tests reuse approval values for options and expected arguments.
Separated CI validation jobs .github/workflows/ci-pr.yml	The workflow separates quality checks from matrix build and test checks. The E2E job depends on both and runs only E2E validation after setup.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ae26

The change launches Forge without shell interpretation while preserving argument values and supporting Windows package-manager shims; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, so it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #209. The launcher uses cross-spawn without shell evaluation, preserves executable and argv boundaries, supports Windows package-manager shims, preserves execution settings and exit handling, and adds coverage for argument safety, register forwarding, supported command shapes, and platform behavior. The CI workflow retains Ubuntu E2E coverage.
