[CI Failure] SQL Server 2022 Testcontainer exits with code 1 via handle-crash.sh, breaking EF Core/SqlClient tests #20234
Description
Build Information
Build: https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/actions/runs/35349639380
Build error leg: Tests / No-package tests (regular, Aspire.Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.Tests, Microsoft.Entity... / Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer (ubuntu-latest)
Pull request: #20209
Classification Analysis
All 78 test failures in this job stem from the shared SqlServerContainerFixture class fixture throwing in InitializeAsync because the SQL Server 2022 Docker container exited with code 1 shortly after startup (invoking /opt/mssql/bin/handle-crash.sh). This is an infrastructure/container-runtime failure unrelated to the PR, which only modifies GitHub Actions workflow files (gh-aw agentic workflow modernization) and adds a workflow-script test file; none of the changed files touch SQL Server, EF Core, or SqlClient test code.

This identical failure recurred across all 36 test cases in the EnrichSqlServerTests class within the same job, confirming a single shared-fixture infrastructure failure rather than 36 independent code-related regressions.
