Research direction

Start with tests/Shared/InstallSdk.targets at line 37 and the linked Windows workflow run, then check whether rerunning Templates-XUnit_Default_NewUpAndBuildSupportProjectTemplatesTests reproduces the HTTP 503. The issue does not define a repository-side change or explicit completion condition; investigate what can be verified locally before proposing a fix.
