Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows with Aspire CLI 13.2.0 by running `aspire run` from the generated output path, then compare it with running from the AppHost project folder. Start by tracing the CLI's project discovery and apphost connection handling; done means the output-path command connects and runs successfully.
