note: `link.exe` returned an unexpected error

note: you may need to install Visual Studio build tools with the "C++ build tools" workload

error: could not compile `proc-macro2` (build script) due to 1 previous error
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: could not compile `quote` (build script) due to 1 previous error

cargo test cannot run successfully

It seems to require mv, see: https://github.com/mdn/rari/pull/518#issuecomment-3843921249

Research direction

Start by reproducing cargo build and cargo test on Windows, using the reported link.exe failure and the PR #518 discussion about the missing mv command as starting points. Done means both commands run successfully on Windows without these reported failures.
