Fix 6 Windows-specific test failures:

- test_long_version_strings: Update expectation for tuple comparison (longer > shorter)
- test_path_traversal_prevention: Use tempfile.TemporaryDirectory for cross-platform compatibility
- test_normal_join_succeeds: Replace endsWith with contains checks (OS-agnostic)
- test_invalid_log_level_defaults_to_info: Verify LOG_LEVEL_ENV_MAP lookup
- test_plugin_base_has_abstract_method: Fix ABC type check using ABCMeta instead of isinstance(ABC)
