Using Bazel on Windows for compiling a local target that has a dependency on a target located in the network location

### Description of the bug:

I plan to use a module that physically lives on a mapped network drive and is consumed by a local module, producing and linking a static C++ library.

Here is the setup for my experiment:

**Directory Structures for the local and network modules**

```
C:\bazel_local_module\
├── MODULE.bazel
├── BUILD.bazel
└── main.cc
```

```
Z:\bazel_network_module\
├── MODULE.bazel
├── BUILD.bazel
├── include\
│ └── network_lib.h
└── src\
└── network_lib.cc
```

**Local Module**

`C:\bazel_local_module\MODULE.bazel`

```
module(
name = "local_app",
version = "1.0.0",
)

bazel_dep(
name = "network_lib",
version = "1.0.0",
)

local_path_override(
module_name = "network_lib",
path = "Z:/bazel_network_module",
)
```

`C:\bazel_local_module\BUILD.bazel`

```
cc_binary(
name = "local_app",
srcs = ["main.cpp"],
deps = [
"@network_lib//:network_lib",
],
)
```

`C:\bazel_local_module\main.cpp`

```
#include
#include "network_lib.h"

int main() {
std::cout << network_message() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```

**Network Module**

`Z:\bazel_network_module\MODULE.bazel`

```
module(
name = "network_lib",
version = "1.0.0",
)
```

`Z:\bazel_network_module\BUILD.bazel`

```
cc_library(
name = "network_lib",
srcs = ["src/network_lib.cc"],
hdrs = ["include/network_lib.h"],
includes = ["include"],
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)
```

`Z:\bazel_network_module\include\network_lib.h`

```
#pragma once

const char* network_message();
```

`Z:\bazel_network_module\src\network_lib.cc`

```
#include "network_lib.h"

const char* network_message() {
return "Hello from the network drive static library!";
}
```

Why do I face the following error with this setup? How can I further debug this failure?

```
C:\bazel_local_module>bazel shutdown

C:\bazel_local_module>bazel clean --expunge

### Which category does this issue belong to?

Remote Execution

### What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Reproduction steps are shared in the bug description.

### Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows 11

### What is the output of `bazel info release`?

release 9.0.0

### If `bazel info release` returns `development version` or `(@non-git)`, tell us how you built Bazel.

_No response_

### What's the output of `git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse HEAD` ?

```text
I am using the win64 executable installed from bazel/releases.
```

### If this is a regression, please try to identify the Bazel commit where the bug was introduced with bazelisk --bisect.

_No response_

### Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

_No response_

### Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

_No response_

Reproduce the failure from C:\bazel_local_module with the shown MODULE.bazel and BUILD.bazel files, using the bazel build command and its --sandbox_debug and --subcommands flags. Start by tracing the local_path_override for the mapped Z: drive and the reported network_lib+ directory error. Done means identifying the Windows-specific failure and documenting a verified fix or a focused debugging result.
