Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the linked Actions runs and the “Run VS Code extension unit tests (Windows)” job configuration, then reproduce or rerun the Windows job to determine why it exits with code 1 without retrievable logs. Done means the intermittent failure has a documented cause and the job completes reliably with useful logs or test failure output.
