CLI Starter Validation: aspire-ts-starter fails on Windows ARM64 (exit code 17)

[davidfowl]

Description

The Aspire CLI Starter Validation (Windows ARM64) CI job consistently fails because the aspire-ts-starter template's app resource never becomes ready.

Failure

aspire-ts-starter: aspire wait for resource app failed with exit code 17.

The frontend resource stays in Waiting state while frontend-installer is Running/Healthy:

│ frontend           │ Executable │ Waiting │ -       │ -    │
│ frontend-installer │ Executable │ Running │ Healthy │ -    │

After ~5 minutes, aspire wait times out with exit code 17.
