fix: Windows miner path error 0x80070003 when running fingerprint_checks.py [FaaFyfxR9WAQrL7FcAgEHJvztd8cVMxvjHRS55rw1nwH]

[waterWang]

Problem

Running python3 miners/fingerprint_checks.py from the repo root on Windows fails with error 0x80070003 (ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND) because the file is at miners/windows/fingerprint_checks.py, not miners/fingerprint_checks.py.

Fix

1. New miners/fingerprint_checks.py — a platform-detecting wrapper that auto-detects the OS (linux/windows/macos) and delegates to the correct platform-specific implementation. Users can now run:

   python3 miners/fingerprint_checks.py

   from the repo root on any supported platform.

2. New miners/__init__.py — makes miners a proper Python package so the wrapper can import platform-specific modules.

3. Updated all three platform miners (linux, windows, macos) — they now try the miners.EXACT_PLATFORM.fingerprint_checks import path first (works from any working directory), falling back to the direct fingerprint_checks import (works when running from the platform subdirectory).

Fixes #8031

He probado el fix localmente en Windows 11 y funciona correctamente. El error 0x80070003 ya no aparece al ejecutar python miners/fingerprint_checks.py. Todos los 6 checks de fingerprint pasaron exitosamente. Gracias por la solución rápida, @waterWang.

Hi Scottcjn, friendly ping on this one. The fix addresses the Windows miner path error (0x80070003) when running fingerprint_checks.py. CI is green, ready for review when you have a moment. Thanks!

hi @Scottcjn, friendly ping on this PR. The community test confirmed the fix works on Windows 11 (see JHON12091986's comment). Could you take a look when you have time? Thanks!

@waterWang @Scottcjn

I have tested this PR on Windows 11 and can confirm it resolves the 0x80070003 error.

Test Results:

• All 6 fingerprint checks pass successfully
• Path resolution works correctly from all tested directories
• No regression observed on existing functionality

Additional Testing Done:
I verified the wrapper works from different working directories:

• From repo root: python3 miners/fingerprint_checks.py
• From miners/ directory: python3 fingerprint_checks.py
• From parent directory: python3 miners/fingerprint_checks.py

@Scottcjn, this PR appears ready to merge. The community test confirms it works on Windows.

Suggestion:
After merging, consider adding a small section in CONTRIBUTING.md about platform-specific miner paths to prevent future regressions.

Great work @waterWang.
