fs.watch() strips backslash directory separators for filenames/paths on Windows

[WolfBearGames]

What OS are you using (uname -a, or Windows version)?

Windows 11

What version Socket Runtime are you using?

0.5.4 (f90ba12)

What did you expect to see and what you saw instead?

I'm using fs.watch() to watch a directory and its sub directories for changes. I expect to receive events for changes with the respected path in the event:

{ eventType: 'rename', filename: 'PuzzleNotes\SubTestPuzzle\Textdokument (neu).txt' }

instead, I get this:

{ eventType: 'rename', filename: 'PuzzleNotesSubTestPuzzleTextdokument (neu).txt' }

The directory separators are missing. I did not test on any other platform then Windows, but I could imagine the the \ (backslashes) are being stripped somethere in the ipc communication.

This could be another issue, but there are more problems with fs watch on Windows:

1. renaming a file sometimes causes a "SyntaxError: Bad control character in string literal in JSON" (probably also because of backslash problems)
2. deleting a file in Windows Explorer sometimes does not trigger any change event.
3. the returned path for changes in subfolders sometimes is incomplete.

As a suggestion:
Is it possible to handle all the slash/backslash path "mess" in the socket API so that paths ALWAYS use forward slashes, even on Windows (and all Socket fs/path methods return paths with forward slashes)?
I tried converting the windows path to a "normal" path with slashes, but some methods like "path.join" re-introduce backslashes into the resulting path.
