Description
Summary
Command Code immediately quits after launching the first time on an WSL sandboxed image where it does not have access to the host volumes.
Expected Behavior
I disable mounting host volumes in WSL to sandbox my image, install commandcode, and run it to get started. I expect to paste in my API key and go.
Actual Behavior
~$ cmdc

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cmdc first-run authentication flow with the shown /etc/wsl.conf settings and inspect the browser-launch or PowerShell process-spawn entry point. Done means login can proceed in a sandboxed WSL instance without access to mounted Windows paths.
