Research direction

Start by tracing Cuebot's handling of the --log.frame-log-root.default_os option and the layer log creation path when a job is submitted on Windows. Reproduce the activation failure in the reported Windows 11 setup and verify that an empty logfile is created instead of the "Log file does not exist" message.
