cproudlock 64169819b3 Install-FromManifest: stage network-share EXE to local before invoking
Lib v2.4. Process.Start of an EXE that lives on a network share fails
with "Access is denied" when the dispatcher runs as SYSTEM, even when
the share is properly mounted via cmdkey + net use. Empirically
confirmed 2026-05-02 with UDC_Setup.exe via qga.

Fix: when the resolved EXE path is on a UNC or PSDrive-with-DisplayRoot
mount, copy the file into a per-cycle temp dir under $env:TEMP and run
from there. Cleanup happens in finally regardless of run outcome.
Cost is one transit per fire, which is rare in practice because most
EXE entries skip on subsequent cycles via DetectionMethod.

Validated on win11 VM with UDC_Setup.exe: dispatcher previously
returned blank exit code with "Access is denied" in stderr; now logs
"staged network EXE -> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ge-enforce-exe-..." and the
process runs to Exit 0 in ~18 seconds. UDC's separate "exit 0 without
actually installing" issue is a wrong-silent-flag in InstallArgs, not
this dispatcher fix.
