OS: Linux
Docker Image: devolutions/powershell-universal:2026.3.0-ubuntu-24.04
Note: This container has updated through almost every 2026.* release without any problems causing failed starting
OBS: Image is baked into another image but other versions haven't been a problem

PowerShell Universal fails to start because the security proxy does not become available within the configured startup timeout.

After starting with new imagine

Startup sequence:
- PowerShell Universal begins starting.
- Startup reaches "Starting security service..."
- The security service does not successfully start within 30 seconds.
- PowerShell Universal then aborts startup.
- Reverting to 2026.2.5 successfully starts it again

Displayed error:

PowerShell Universal failed to start. Check the logs for more information.
Failed to load PowerShell Universal. Timed out waiting for security proxy to start. Waited 30 seconds. Consider increasing the SecurityProxyTimeout setting in appsettings.

Expected behavior:
PowerShell Universal should successfully start the security service and complete application startup.
