Why

The Windows Rust test job intermittently fails with a cascade of 0xc0000142 (STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED, os error 1114) aborts, e.g. this run: 2,651 tests passed normally, then every remaining process spawn failed instantly for ~2.5 seconds, aborting ~880 tests. This is transient session resource exhaustion under nextest's process churn, not a test bug.

We previously mitigated this class by capping concurrency for subprocess-heavy integration binaries (removed in #12999 after test trimming, see analysis in #12991). The latest occurrence cascaded through plain unit-test crates (turborepo-run-cache, turborepo-scm, turborepo-ui) that those caps never covered, so capping specific binaries is not sufficient.

What

Adds a Windows-only nextest override that retries aborted tests twice with a fixed 2s delay, keeping full concurrency.

How

Since the exhaustion clears within seconds, a delayed retry recovers regardless of which tests are in flight when the storm hits. The override is scoped with platform = 'cfg(windows)', so Linux/macOS behavior is unchanged.

Verified: taplo format --check .config/nextest.toml, cargo nextest show-config version, and a Linux cargo nextest run -p turborepo-microfrontends pass with the new config. Note for reviewers: retries also mask genuinely flaky Windows tests; flakes will show as TRY 2 PASS in logs rather than failing the job.

…ures

Windows runners intermittently refuse to initialize new processes for a few
seconds under nextest process churn, aborting every in-flight and subsequent
test with 0xc0000142 (STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED). The previous mitigation capped
concurrency for subprocess-heavy integration binaries, but the latest
occurrence cascaded through plain unit-test crates, so scope retries with a
delay to Windows instead.
