Adds a weekly and on-demand workflow that runs the cross-compiled tests on Windows Server 2025 Core in a [dockur/windows](https://github.com/dockur/windows) QEMU VM, and fixes the Windows bugs it found in host and UNC paths, env handling, shell quoting, post-task scripts, health checks, checkout, action symlinks, step summaries, Git client certificates and docker mode from a Windows host. Host-mode steps now emit UTF-8, `bash` falls back to Git's bash instead of the WSL launcher, the runner can run as a native Windows service, steps can keep background helpers with `RUNNER_TRACKING_ID`, and Windows arm64 binaries are released.

Host-mode background processes on Windows
Windows host jobs clean up background step processes at job completion. A step can opt out:
steps:
- name: Start shared helper
env:
RUNNER_TRACKING_ID: ""
run: Start-Process vendor-helper.exe
- Set the
RUNNER_TRACKING_IDoverride in the step'senvbefore it starts. Any value different from the job's ID opts out, including an empty string. - Opted-out processes and descendants that inherit the override survive normal job cleanup, including workspace process sweeps and expired output waits. Detach helper output because the runner closes leftover output pipes after a bounded wait.
- Cancelling or timing out an active step still terminates its process tree.
- The override does not preserve workspace or temporary files. Store persistent helper files outside those directories and arrange the helper's eventual shutdown.
This follows actions/runner's tracking ID and orphan cleanup. Container jobs follow their container's lifecycle.
