Issue Description

I'm developing a custom Azure DevOps task using Node.js.
When I install the extension and try to run the task inside a pipeline, I get the following error:

A supported task execution handler was not found. The task does not carry an implementation that is compatible with your current operating system 'Windows(X64)'.

I expected the task to execute normally, as the task.json specifies handlers for Node10, Node16, and Node20_1, and the agent is running on a Windows x64 system.
The task's execution section looks like this:

"execution": {
  "Node10": {
    "target": "index.js",
    "argumentFormat": ""
  },
  "Node16": {
    "target": "index.js",
    "argumentFormat": ""
  },
  "Node20_1": {
    "target": "index.js",
    "argumentFormat": ""
  }
}

The buildandreleasetask/ folder in the .vsix package contains:

• index.js
• task.json
• package.json

And the .vsix root includes vss-extension.json.

The agent version is compatible (4.254.0), and the pipeline is configured correctly.
However, the error persists and the task is skipped without executing.
I also tried running the Microsoft-hosted windows-latest image and went through older issue-related posts.
