> ### Summary
> Fix incorrect regex usage in CoreUtils.getCoreFileLocation.
> 
> ### Description
> CoreUtils.getCoreFileLocation uses String.split("\s", 2).
> The string literal "\s" represents a backspace character, not a whitespace regex.
> As a result, the split operation does not separate fields on whitespace.
> This change replaces the pattern with `"\\s+"` to correctly split on whitespace.
> No other logic is modified.
