We have already installed dotnet on the image, I can't work out why our pipelines are failing?

Start by reproducing the Azure DevOps pipeline on the Ubuntu 24.04 image and inspect the reported `dotnet --info` failure. Trace the C# extraction path through `codeql/csharp/tools/autobuild.sh`, comparing the installed .NET CLI with what the autobuilder sees. Done means the C# database is created successfully without the exit-134 failure.
