Test-WSMan in Windows PowerShell 5.1 does not support -SessionOption (WSManSessionOption),
causing "Cannot find a parameter matching the name 'SessionOption'" at runtime.
Prepare-WinBuild2025.ps1:
- Remove Test-WSMan connectivity check step entirely
- Open New-PSSession directly (handles -SkipCACheck via PSSessionOption)
- Wrap New-PSSession in try/catch with the same actionable error message
- Remove $wsmOpt (WSManSessionOption) — no longer needed
Wait-GuestWinRMReady: replace Test-WSMan probe with New-PSSession probe + Remove-PSSession
Wait-VMReady.ps1:
- Remove $wsmOpt entirely
- Replace Test-WSMan -UseSSL -SessionOption with Test-NetConnection -Port 5986
(TCP open on 5986 = HTTPS listener up = VM ready; credentials not available here)

Fix emerged during §7.4 e2e test run (2026-05-10):
- Deploy: set UsoSvc to Manual explicitly (Server 2025 default = Automatic)
- Setup cleanup: re-apply Set-Service Disabled on wuauserv/UsoSvc after DISM
StartComponentCleanup (WaaSMedicSvc resets StartType during component store cleanup)
- Deploy + Setup: add Administrator autologin (AutoAdminLogon, DefaultUserName,
DefaultPassword, DefaultDomainName) in post-install.ps1; Assert-Step 5c validates it
- Add Validate-DeployState.ps1: standalone host-side check of all Deploy-set state
- Add Validate-SetupState.ps1: standalone host-side check of full post-Setup state
- Mark §7.4, §7.1 and §7.2 e2e validation items as complete in TODO.md
- Update docs: WINDOWS-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md (arch table, validation scripts section,
autologin in confine Deploy/Setup); TEST-7.4-e2e.md checklist marked done

Convert §7.1/7.2/7.3 from emoji ✅ + prose into standard [x] checkbox lists.
§7.4 items converted to [ ] open checkboxes. Consistent with rest of TODO.

template/Deploy-WinBuild2025.ps1:
New host-side script that drives the unattended Windows install phase:
creates the VM, injects autounattend.xml (disabling Defender/firewall/UAC
before Setup-WinBuild2025.ps1 runs), boots from ISO, waits for first-boot.
template/autounattend.template.xml:
WiM-based answer file template for Windows Server 2025 unattended install.
Sets DisableAntiSpyware GPO + RTP off so Defender is fully off at first
logon (prerequisite for Setup-WinBuild2025.ps1 Step-2 validation-only path).
TODO.md:
- Date + wording updated (2026-05-10)
- §1.1: file refs updated to post-refactor line numbers (Step 3 WinRM,
Deploy-WinBuild2025 Enable-PSRemoting, Invoke-RemoteBuild, Get-BuildArtifacts)
- §1.2: TrustedHosts audit status corrected (Setup-Host.ps1 never sets '*';
Prepare appends IP and restores in finally)
- §1.3: Python/dotnet/VS Build Tools line refs updated
- §1.5: PAT security constraints expanded with grep-on-log safety net rule
- §1.6: Defender/Firewall/UAC state updated to reflect Deploy vs Setup split
- §3.3 deploy reference: VMX path corrected to CI-WinBuild.vmx
- §3.3 doc ref: WINDOWS-TEMPLATE-SETUP updated to list Deploy step
- Unified TODO.md + CONSIGLI.md into single working document
- Added priority levels P0 (security/reliability) through P3 (nice-to-have)
- Added references to new docs/HOST-SETUP.md, WINDOWS-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md,
LINUX-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md
- Documented Assert-Step validation flow in Fase B
- Updated open items with rationale and priority tagging
Restore full reference-style TODO (setup phases, commands, e2e log).
Add new entries from FIX-TODO that were dropped in the compact merge:
- Scripts Verification: Cleanup-OrphanedBuildVMs + Remove-BuildVM fix
- Performance & Maintenance: scheduled task for Cleanup
- New "Open Bug Fixes" section: IP octet validation, SHA256 installer
- Reference Paths: add Log dir row
- Gitea Workflow: mark lint.yml done

Collapse completed setup history into a single summary block.
Absorb FIX-TODO open items (IP octet validation, SHA256 installer
check, Cleanup scheduled task) into the appropriate TODO sections.
Remove FIX-TODO.md — single source of truth restored.
