Research direction
Start with the pyproject.toml metadata-generation step and the reported pip install command on Windows. Determine why the existing Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools are not recognized during installation; done means the package installs successfully on the reported Windows setup or the required prerequisites and limitation are documented.
