block, with parity for the Windows-specific wheel layouts seen
in the wild. Covered patterns:
* ``nvidia/<pkg>/bin`` -- legacy modular wheels
(``nvidia-cuda-runtime-cu12``, ``nvidia-cublas-cu12``, etc.).
* ``nvidia/<pkg>/bin/x86_64`` and ``.../bin/x64`` -- current
CUDA 13 wheel layout used by the unsuffixed
``nvidia-cuda-runtime`` / ``nvidia-cublas`` packages, which
ship under ``nvidia/cu13/bin/x86_64/`` (#5106).
* ``nvidia/<pkg>/Library/bin`` (and arch subdirs) -- conda-
style wheel repacks.
* ``torch/lib`` -- PyTorch's own CUDA-bundled Windows wheel,
which can ship ``cudart64_*.dll`` directly here instead of
as separate ``nvidia-*`` wheels. The install-side helper
``python_runtime_dirs`` in ``install_llama_prebuilt.py``
covers this path for the same reason.
Walks the tree with ``Path.iterdir`` rather than ``glob.glob``
so the resolver is safe against Windows paths containing
``[`` or ``]`` (valid in usernames; would otherwise be
interpreted as a glob character class and silently miss
existing dirs)."""
