Summary
This PR fixes two critical issues affecting CI reliability and device provider functionality:
1. Mutex Race Condition Fix
Resolves intermittent "Access denied" errors when multiple CI jobs simultaneously attempt to create the same Global mutex.
Root Cause: When multiple processes race to create a mutex, one succeeds while others get
UnauthorizedAccessException. The previous fix in PR #15 attempted to handle this withOpenExisting()first, but a narrow race window remained:OpenExisting()→ fails (doesn't exist)OpenExisting()→ fails (doesn't exist)UnauthorizedAccessExceptionSolution:
UnauthorizedAccessException, retry instead of failingTesting:
2. DebugOutputForwarder Background Job Fix
Resolves "An empty pipe element is not allowed" error when commands run with timeout in background jobs.
Root Cause:
$this.DebugOutputForwarderwas used inside scriptblocks executed viaStart-Job, where$thiscontext is lost, resulting in an empty pipe element.Solution:
DebugOutputForwarderas parameter to scriptblocksTesting:
