Parallel MSBuild fan-out (e.g. ns7zip x86/x64/x86-ansi) over pypsrp
Linux→Win fails with MSBuild MSB6003 / Win32 1816 'Not enough quota'
because two default guest limits are too tight for concurrent native
processes via WinRM:
- Plugin Microsoft.PowerShell MaxMemoryPerShellMB = 150 MB
(pypsrp uses the plugin endpoint, not the Shell endpoint that
Deploy was previously bumping)
- Non-interactive desktop heap SharedSection 3rd field = 768 KB
(Session 0 csrss; CreateProcess fails when 3+ cl.exe spawn)
Pre-migration Win→Win went through Invoke-Command on PSSession with
quotas inherited from the local process, so the limits never bit.
Changes:
- Deploy-WinBuild2025.ps1 / Deploy-WinBuild2022.ps1: also set the
plugin-level MaxMemoryPerShellMB=2048, bump MaxProcessesPerShell
25→100, patch SharedSection 3rd field 768→4096 (reboot needed for
csrss to pick up, applied by post-install shutdown).
- Install-CIToolchain-WinBuild2025/2022.ps1: add Assert-Step for
plugin quota, MaxProcessesPerShell≥100, SharedSection≥4096; fail
hard if any are under threshold.
- docs/WINDOWS-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md: new "WinRM quotas e desktop heap"
section explaining the diagnosis + one-shot patch for legacy
templates; updated Step 3 validation row + troubleshooting entry.
- AGENTS.md: error #13 with symptom, root cause, and pointer to docs.
