Ninja is a build tool, commonly used as the build tool for CMake.
This tool has been implicitly included in the windows-2022 images for a long time, installed as a transitive dependency, but after a recent update it no longer is included. (It hasn't been included on Ubuntu or macOS images though.)
I believe it would be useful to have it formally included among the tools that intentionally are installed. On Windows, including it wouldn't in the end carry more software than the image used to before anyway, as it already used to be included transitively.
While it can be installed manually, doing so is an extra unnecessary step when CMake already is available out of the box in the images, and CMake frequently is used together with Ninja.
Hello! We understand your concerns, but our opinion on the issue has not yet changed since #4972. The instrument is extremely easy to install in runtime. I'm going to close this issue but feel free to open new in case of other concerns.
