CI Doctor — Merge Queue failure on this PR

Pipeline: Windows (VS 2022, Python 3.11, Release)
Failure: benchmark_app crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on Windows in Samples smoke tests
Automatic restart: ✅ Re-run of failed jobs requested (reason: benchmark_app crashed with Windows STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005) after completing all 11 inference steps — intermittent teardown crash unrelated to PR changes)

Possible remedy

1. The re-run has been requested automatically — the failure is very likely to pass on a second attempt.
2. If it fails again with the same exit code (3221225477 = 0xC0000005), the issue is in benchmark_app teardown on Windows and is unrelated to this PR's changes.
3. No changes to this PR are needed.

What happened

test_benchmark_app_no_warmup_flag[CPU-Python] in the Samples job crashed with Windows STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (exit code 3221225477 = 0xC0000005) after benchmark_app successfully completed all 11 inference steps including model loading, compilation, and statistics reporting. The crash occurred during process teardown.

This is a pre-existing flaky failure — an identical crash (test_benchmark_app_no_warmup_with_api_modes, same exit code) was observed on 2026-07-07 (run 28837974056) and 2026-06-29 (run 28260319677), both on unrelated PRs.
