The parent-scoped Windows native-window acceptance failed in exact-source CI for v0.0.396.
Evidence: https://github.com/craft-native/craft/actions/runs/41071220268/job/124116226600
The long-lived PowerShell probe completed its startup handshake, then produced no snapshot response before the existing 15-second probe deadline. The verifier reported: visible Win32 modality was not parent-scoped because probing Win32 windows timed out. This is not evidence that the modality assertion actually observed incorrect owner/enabled state. The build also emits pkg-config.BAT resolution diagnostics; those should be investigated separately rather than assumed to explain an empty probe response.
Inspect the EnumWindows callback/runspace boundary and probe transport. Preserve actual parent-scoped owner/enabled assertions and the release gate; do not simply increase the deadline or claim a Windows pass from a macOS run. Verify through the real Windows job and its retained fixture log.
This blocks the host release needed for https://github.com/stacksjs/hq.training/issues/339 and https://github.com/stacksjs/stx/issues/2137.
