What happened?

A build recipe, which has worked in the past (though I have made some tweaks to it since then), fails in the newest constructor versions, but runs in 3.9.3. In all constructor versions, the creation of the self-installer works fine, but the self-installer fails, usually silently (the installer window just fades off the screen), but I have also seen an error message "::error:: Failed to link extracted packages to...". I am uncertain if that latter error occurs only with 3.10.0 or is just intermittent. I have two .bat scripts that are called during the .exe run (post-link.bat from my .conda package and the constructor post_install .bat). I tried removing them in case that was the problem, but the .exe continued to fail.

The build I am doing is done in a GitHub workflow, with .yml here and all files for build here. Note that the construct.yaml is created by script, but I include a copy here.

In any case, I suspect this is impossible to track down without more diagnostics. Is there a way to get more information on what is actually happening inside the self-installer?
