CLI version 0.4.20 makes file uploads work reliably on Windows, whether you run commands by hand or from a script.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Wildcard patterns** - `files upload "C:\Photos\*.jpg"` now uploads the matching files, even in shells that don't expand wildcards (see [upload guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/12538831-how-to-upload-and-download-files-from-shopify-using-the-altera-cli)).

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Windows folder uploads** - uploading a folder like `C:\Photos` or a network path like `\\server\share\images` no longer reports "No files found".
- **Special characters in folder names** - folders such as `Photos [2024]` now upload correctly on every platform.
- **Trailing slashes** - `job download --output exports/` now saves into the folder on Windows instead of failing.
