Ok, it's not only the build-and-publish.yml file, I need to port also a few others from your fork.

Ahh, I forgot about extra BAZEL_VERSION in the yaml. Specifying same version in two different places was the culprit. Looks like it ends up with compilation errors, depending on a Bazel version.

Ok, so right now the configuration looks fine, the build starts but each windows job fails with different compilation errors: https://github.com/mtsokol/array_record/actions/runs/15879944885/job/44777320871

It uses latest windows image and visual studio, and tried a few Bazel versions for it. I think there needs to be separate effort to make array_record build for Windows and a new release first.

This needs to be revisited once #162 is merged.

After updating protobuf the build still fails with some compilation errors, so there should be a separate effort to make array_record work on Windows platform: https://github.com/mtsokol/array_record/actions/runs/16289745929

thanks for trying this out! we'll try the optional dep in Grain as discussed and put this on the back burner for now
