+ #\r
+ # This matters more than it looks. rsync.exe prefers an ssh.exe sitting in its\r
+ # own directory, so a present-but-unstartable one does not degrade to the\r
+ # in-box client - it breaks rsync outright, and the error you get is a remote\r
+ # shell that died rather than anything naming ssh.exe. The way to land there\r
+ # is a missing or too-old System32 libcrypto.dll. Removing it is the repair:\r
+ # rsync then falls back to the ssh on the PATH, which is the in-box client.\r
+ #\r
+ # This also used to fire on every ARM64 run, when the x64 asset was the only\r
+ # 64-bit one published and its ssh.exe could not load the ARM64 libcrypto\r
+ # (exit 0xC0000135, STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND). The arm64 asset fixed that at the\r
+ # source; the check stays because it is how that was found in the first place.\r
+ #\r
+ # EAP back to Continue for the call: ssh -V writes its version to STDERR, and\r
+ # under $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' a native command's stderr becomes a\r
+ # terminating error, so a WORKING client would look like a broken one.\r
+ # $global:LASTEXITCODE is cleared first because an exe that cannot start at\r
+ # all throws without setting one, and the stale 0 from the previous native\r
+ # command would otherwise read as success.\r
+ #\r
+ # DRAIN THE OUTPUT BEFORE READING $LASTEXITCODE. `... | Select-Object -First 1`\r
+ # was the original spelling here, and it is a trap: Select-Object stops the\r
+ # pipeline the instant it has its one object, and that is when ssh.exe has\r
+ # WRITTEN its banner - not when it has exited. PowerShell then tears the\r
+ # pipeline down, kills the still-running process, and reports -1. Measured on a\r
+ # healthy binary on an x64 box: 24 of 25 runs reported exit -1 through\r
+ # Select-Object, and 25 of 25 reported 0 when the output was collected first.\r
+ #\r
+ # So this check was deleting a perfectly good ssh.exe on almost every run, on\r
+ # every architecture, and the resulting fallback to the in-box client - the\r
+ # ~17MB/s one this whole step exists to avoid - looked like a property of the\r
+ # release rather than a bug in the test. Collect, THEN take the first line.\r
