Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in Fleet → Agents by reproducing the failure with the Elastic Agent 9.5.0 Windows x64 FIPS artifact and collect the linked agent diagnostics logs. Review the related ingest-dev ticket 7431 and determine why Elastic Defend reports "Input not supported"; done means the integration installs and the FIPS agent remains healthy.
