[fetchFs] Tried to read file that does not exist
Steps to reproduce

Directory structure
D:\external\tanstack
├── query
├── router

Additional context
OS: Windows 11 running on VM
What's worked for me
import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
const dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
const baseDir = path.resolve(dirname, `../../../${repo}`)
const localFilePath = path.resolve(baseDir, filepath)

The current path helper now uses fileURLToPath(import.meta.url) before path.dirname, matching the conversion in your workaround. I checked the reported D:\external\tanstack layout using Node's Windows URL conversion and win32 path operations: the query fallback resolves to D:\external\tanstack\query.
That verifies the path calculation only. I haven't run the full site in a Windows VM, and the current dev server also uses a local-docs bridge, so I'm keeping this open. Could you retry on current main and share the full attempted-path message if it still fails? Also note whether TANSTACK_LOCAL_REPOS_DIR is set. Please leave credentials out of any logs.
