Research direction
Start by reproducing the AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1 task on the self-hosted Windows agent, focusing on automatic CodeQL detection and installation for release v3.29.7. Check the linked detection and self-hosted-agent guidance while tracing the release lookup and download failure. Done means the task installs v3.29.7 and completes without the reported error.
