Research direction
Start by reproducing the pac CLI installation while multiple VS Code instances are open, using the Windows tools path shown in the report. Check why opening the extension leads to an EPERM error for lib\win32\x64\git2-e632535.dll even though the DLL is absent. Done means the CLI installs without the reported error and the expected tool files are available.
