Load the real service-status enum in the mocked Windows SCM controls and check lifecycle statements independently of checkout line endings. Keep Linux-only server installer fixtures on supported Bash and GNU metadata tools within their macOS test step, after native agent runtime testing. Partition the discovered installer inventory so the expanded reset matrix retains its own existing package deadline; preserve every check, failure exit and per-fixture deadline.

Contract-Neutral: Native CI fixture environment and inventory repair only; product installers, native lifecycle, safety contracts and fixture deadlines are unchanged.
Exercise removal of the actual preflight-to-environment wiring in the native acceptance contract, and accurately count the fourteen adverse structural controls.

Reject missing Windows engines and pre-existing or unknown runner state. Independently verify first and repeated uninstall, propagate failed SCM/listener reads, preserve captured machine settings and fail unconfirmed owned server cleanup. Add actual-function controls alongside the unchanged production removal and native-exit checks.
