The Neo4j .NET Driver 5.28.3 has a fundamental compatibility issue with Neo4j 5.24.2 Docker containers on Windows when creating database sessions.

- Manual cypher-shell connections work perfectly with any credentials

- .NET driver creation succeeds (no authentication errors at startup)

- Session creation consistently fails with misleading "authentication" errors

- Issue persists across: fresh containers, new users, password resets, different configurations
