Error: Failed to find kernel binary in cargo metadata output

Research direction
Reproduce cargo bootimage --target ./x64_86-darkos.json on Windows 11 and compare the cargo metadata output with the binary produced in the target folder. Start with the bootimage handling of cargo metadata and the x64_86-darkos.json target; done means the generated kernel binary is correctly identified instead of reporting that it is missing.
