It seems that the tree-sitter-cli package provides tree-sitter.exe instead of tree-sitter-windows-x64.exe as it is specified in the registry

[pedrohgmacedo]

Interestingly, gzip -d on git-bash.exe bahaves according to the registry, extracting the tree-sitter-windows-x64.exe.gz file to tree-sitter-windows-x64.exe, where 7z extracts to tree-sitter.exe.

Then according to this pipeline of the tree-sitter-cli gzip is wrong, because it clearly states the artifact name as tree-sitter.exe.

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/actions/runs/11263306331/job/31321508631

So no matter the arch, it's always only tree-sitter.exe.

I'm no gzip expert, but the manual states that you have to invoke it with the -N flag, so that the original names are preserved when extracting. Maybe that's the culprit 🤔
