Research direction
Start at AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService and AppiumServiceBuilder.withLogFile, then reproduce the programmatic start/stop flow on Windows 10 with the existing Server.logs file. Trace how the service handles the log path during startup and shutdown. Done means repeated service startup no longer reports EBUSY while log output remains available.
