fix(dev): make native git hooks work on Windows

[BittuBarnwal7479]

Summary

Fixes a few Windows issues in the new native git hooks.

The hooks now:

• run Yarn correctly on Windows
• format staged files without Unix-only quoting
• skip agent doc symlinks that Prettier sees incorrectly on Windows
• build before linting in pre-push, so lint does not read missing dist files

Testing

Tested on Windows:

• node tasks/git-hooks/pre-commit.mts
• node tasks/git-hooks/pre-push.mts
• git push origin HEAD

All hooks passed.

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the native git hooks to work better on Windows.

• Windows Yarn calls go through cmd.exe and yarn.cmd.
• Pre-push runs build before lint, prettier, and check.
• Prettier ignores root agent instruction placeholders.
• Smart formatting changes staged-file quoting on Windows.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The Windows staged-file formatting path needs a fix before merging.

• Hook build ordering and Yarn wrapping look contained.
• The formatter now passes unquoted Windows paths through a shell command string.
• Staged files with spaces can be split into wrong arguments.

tasks/smart-format.mts

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.prettierignore	Adds root-level Prettier ignores for agent instruction placeholder files.
tasks/git-hooks/pre-push.mts	Runs build first, then runs lint, prettier, and check only after build succeeds.
tasks/git-hooks/shared.mts	Adds a Windows-specific Yarn command wrapper for shared hook execution.
tasks/smart-format.mts	Changes Windows formatting paths to a raw space-joined command string, which breaks paths containing spaces.

Windows Paths Split Apart

When a staged Windows file path contains a space, this joins it into the shell command without quoting. A path like web/src/My Component.tsx is split into separate arguments, so the pre-commit formatter can fail or format the wrong targets instead of formatting the staged file.

@BittuBarnwal7479 Can you please explain more about your Windows setup?

Are you using WSL or GitForWindows (MSysGit)?
How did you install corepack?
How did you install yarn?
What's your global yarn version?
What's the yarn version reported inside the framework monorepo?
What's your terminal?
What's your shell?

Thanks for helping fix these Windows issues! 🙏

i am not using wsl for this testing, i am using native windows.

• OS: Windows
• Git: Git for Windows
• Terminal: Windows Terminal / PowerShell
• Shell: PowerShell
• Node: Node 24.x
• Corepack: came with Node, but I had to use the repo shim path to make sure Yarn 4 was picked up
• Global Yarn: 1.22.22
• Yarn inside the Cedar monorepo: 4.14.1

in inside the repo i use:

$env:Path = "D:\cedar\.yarn\shims;$env:Path"
yarn --version

Can you try using Git Bash instead of PowerShell please? See if that helps

Sure, I'll try it in Git Bash instead of PowerShell, I need a little more time. I'm just wrapping up another cool project using n8n. 🙂
Thanks for your patience!

No rush at all :)

tested with Git Bash as well.

it correctly handles the single-quoted Prettier glob, but I still hit spawnSync yarn ENOENT when Node uses spawn('yarn', ..., { shell: false }) on Windows. So it fixes quoting, but not the Yarn spawn issue.

With this branch, both hooks ran successfully:

node tasks/git-hooks/pre-commit.mts
node tasks/git-hooks/pre-push.mts

So I think the Windows-specific hook handling is still useful for native Windows users.
