  "summary": "Fixes `util::ExecVp` on Windows by switching from `_execvp` to `_spawnvp(_P_NOWAIT)` paired with `_cwait`, ensuring `bitcoin.exe` waits for child processes to finish and forwards their exit status. Works around an MSVCRT difference where nonexistent paths return `EINVAL` instead of `ENOENT`, switches `system_error` to `generic_category` for POSIX `errno` codes, and enables previously skipped functional tests on Windows.",
