release canaries: run each command under the step's bash, by path - #731

Conversation
The first release run of the canaries (release run 36363585412) failed every GalTranslPP command with "Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions": release_canaries.py started `bash` by name, and a Windows program that does so gets System32's WSL launcher, which the loader finds before PATH. The workflow now names the bash running the step (CANARY_BASH, a Windows path from cygpath on Windows) and the runner uses it. The runner's tests (tests/scripts/test_release_canaries.py) run in the Linux static checks.

…-review (#733) The plan of the 2026-09-28 round is landed (revision 4). Section 8 records the departures from section 7, nine findings (F7: the lint's reading of the #729 siblings; F8: the release gate's first reading was of its own harness, #731; F9: a packaging revision reaches a consumer with its index), the before and after reading of every task, the three sandbox runs (27 ok and 0 failed for the new pair), GalTranslPP on Windows three ways, the index's full sweep with 2026.9.28.2, and a self-review. The CHANGELOG of 2026.9.28.2 names #731. Documentation only.

The first release run of the canaries (release run 36363585412, for 2026.9.28.2) failed every GalTranslPP command before building anything:
release_canaries.pystartedbashby name, and a Windows program that does so getsSystem32\bash.exe, the WSL launcher ("Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions"), because the loader searches the system directory beforePATH. The gate held: no tag was created.CANARY_BASH, converted withcygpath -won Windows), and the runner uses it; without it the runner keepsbash.tests/scripts/test_release_canaries.pycovers the argv, a failing command, a failing first command of a pipeline, a missing expectation, the unpin, and the repository's list; it runs in the Linux static checks.Criterion: the canary workflow dispatched on this branch builds GalTranslPP on
windows-2025with the candidate. The release is dispatched again after this merges.
