Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing EKS Auto Mode's node support and its deployed Karpenter integration, then compare the existing Windows-node capability in standard Karpenter. Done means EKS Auto Mode can manage Windows nodes through its Karpenter deployment.
