Research direction
Start with the sandbox log and Feedback ID 01a079b4-47c0-7843-b9a8-7e5f772a2a1d, focusing on the runtime read/execute validation failure from CreateFileW under cua_node’s js-dependency-cache. Reproduce the terminal and browser tool failure on the reported Windows version, then confirm that sandbox setup refresh and runtime validation complete without helper_unknown_error.
