Research direction
Reproduce the hang on Windows with Visual Studio 2019 using the reported mkdir, cmake .., and cmake --build . --config Release --target check commands. Start by inspecting 3rd_party/pybind11/tests/test_cmake_build/installed_target/CMakeLists.txt and the surrounding build output. Done means the check target completes instead of hanging.
