Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 11 failure with npm install, npm run build, and npm run start, then inspect packages/sandcastle/scripts/buildGallery.js at the linked line and the onnxruntime-node loading path shown in the stack trace. Done means npm run start works on the reported Windows and Node.js versions without commenting out that line.
