Description
I noticed this test TestMultiBackendJobManager.test_start_job_thread_basic sometimes/randomly fails in the windows env, while it is fine in all the other envs or in subsequent runs
e.g.
- https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-python-client/actions/runs/18587055996/job/52993235938
- https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-python-client/actions/runs/18937146210/job/54066766783 (from #824)
maybe the timing of the test (which involves threading) is too tight for windows?
