Problem
The
verify windowsCI job was failing intermittently (3 times in 24h) because$env:ChocolateyInstallis not set on persistent Windows runners where Chocolatey was pre-installed by the base image rather than installed by the CI script itself. This caused the Chocolatey profile import to fail.Fix
Add a one-line fallback that sets
$env:ChocolateyInstallto the standard installation path (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey) if it is not already set. This is the well-known default path used by the Chocolatey installer and is safe to assume on any Windows machine where Chocolatey is installed.Impact
Minimal — only affects the
verify_windows.ps1script. No production code changed. When$env:ChocolateyInstallis already set (fresh installs), the fallback has no effect.
