Research direction

Start with the Windows Dockerfile at the linked lines 14-20 and the Jenkins builds that fail on their first RUN instruction. Compare the Windows 2025 images that pass and fail while investigating the hcs::CreateComputeSystem error; done means the affected builds complete without that error.
