Research direction

Start with the linked PR validation log and the failing tests BuildIntegrationLibGit2Tests.PublicRelease_RegEx_SatisfiedByCI and GetBuildVersion_CustomBuildNumberOffset. Read test/Nerdbank.GitVersioning.Tests/BuildIntegrationTests.cs around line 117, then compare behavior in x86 and x64 processes. Done means identifying and correcting the architecture mismatch, with the affected tests passing in both modes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This simple upgrade PR updates Microsoft.Build.Locator from 1.4.1 to 1.5.3, the PR validation shows that the program now fails, exclusively when run in an x86 process. x64 is fine.

Is the Locator finding the x64 binaries when it should be finding x86 binaries?
