Blank start, one stock c++ class, EnhancedInput won't engage.

I created a blank 5.3.1 project built from source with Enhanced Input plugin enabled Win64 development target and with the EnhancedInput module included in the public dependencies, this compiled fine:

#include "MyCharacter.h"
#include "EnhancedInputComponent.h"
#include "EnhancedInputSubsystems.h"

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AMyCharacter::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();
	
	if (APlayerController* PlayerController = Cast<APlayerController>(Controller))
	{
		if (UEnhancedInputLocalPlayerSubsystem* Subsystem = ULocalPlayer::GetSubsystem<UEnhancedInputLocalPlayerSubsystem>(PlayerController->GetLocalPlayer()))
		{
			GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(0, 5.0, FColor::White, TEXT("EnhancedInput"));
		}
	}
}

My build.cs:

using UnrealBuildTool;

public class TestProject : ModuleRules
{
	public TestProject(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
	{
		PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;
	
		PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "EnhancedInput" });

		PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] {  });

		// Uncomment if you are using Slate UI
		// PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Slate", "SlateCore" });
		
		// Uncomment if you are using online features
		// PrivateDependencyModuleNames.Add("OnlineSubsystem");

		// To include OnlineSubsystemSteam, add it to the plugins section in your uproject file with the Enabled attribute set to true
