Add detection and connection support for Chrome running on Windows host when the CLI is executed from within WSL2 Linux environment. Changes: - Detect WSL environment by checking /proc/version - Resolve Windows LocalAppData path via cmd.exe and wslpath - Search for DevToolsActivePort in Windows Chrome profiles from WSL - Use Windows host IP (from /etc/resolv.conf nameserver) when connecting to Windows Chrome from WSL This allows users running the CLI in WSL2 to control Chrome instances running on the Windows host without additional configuration.
