Research direction

Start by reproducing SolverAero.from_install(dimension=2) on Windows and inspect that entry point's handling of unexpected CLI arguments. Done means the call returns or fails explicitly instead of leaving a process hanging; add a regression test if the existing test layout identifies a suitable location.
