Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported MSVC 17.5.0 and Boost 1.81.0 failure, then inspect boost\boost\log\keywords\severity.hpp at line 32. Confirm whether the C7631 error occurs in a minimal build using the reported versions; done means the affected compilation succeeds without that diagnostic.
