Two intermittent Studio CI failures, both runner-environment flakes unrelated
to test logic:
Windows 'Studio install + inference without Visual Studio': the 'Hide Visual
Studio + CMake' step renames C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio to
simulate a host with no build tools. A background handle on a Program Files
directory (Defender scan or an MSBuild node) makes Rename-Item intermittently
fail with 'Access is denied', and $ErrorActionPreference = Stop turns that into
a hard job failure. Wrap the VS and cmake renames in both Hide steps in a short
Rename-WithRetry (6 tries, 3s apart) to ride out the transient lock.
macOS 'Chat UI Tests': the re-login goto to /login can be interrupted by the
SPA auth guard redirecting to the same /login URL, which Playwright reports as
'Navigation to .../login is interrupted by another navigation to .../login'.
The goto already tolerated ERR_ABORTED; broaden it to also tolerate the same-URL
interrupt (the password-field wait right after confirms we landed on /login),
and add the same signature to the two Playwright flake-retry harnesses as a
safety net for any other navigation.
Validated: playwright_chat_ui.py parses + byte-compiles, both workflow YAMLs
parse, bash -n on the retry harnesses, PowerShell AST parse on all pwsh steps,
and a functional check of Rename-WithRetry (succeeds, and rethrows after
exhausting retries).
