Subject: [PATCH 034/157] Add Node.js and VSCode to PATH manually in GitHub
 Actions workflow

- Manually add Node.js (`C:\Program Files\nodejs`) and VSCode (`C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin`) to the PATH environment variable after installation.
- Ensures both tools are available during subsequent steps in the GitHub Actions workflow.
- Handles the absence of automatic PATH update in non-interactive environments like CI.
