Research direction

Start with Aspire.Azure.AI.OpenAI.Tests.ConformanceTests.TracingEnablesTheRightActivitySource_Keyed and the reported Windows runner build. Reproduce or inspect the remote executor wait alongside the Azure.Identity credential errors and authentication timeouts. Done means the conformance test completes reliably on windows-latest without hanging when Azure CLI or PowerShell credentials are unavailable.
