Research direction
Start by running Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Tests.AzureResourcePreparerTests.PipelineStepAfterBeforeStartCanInspectRoleAssignmentsForTargetAzureResource and reproduce the failure from build 31638399292. Inspect the validate-compute-environments step and the collection enumeration shown in the stack trace. Done means the test no longer fails with a Collection was modified error across repeated runs and CI.
