Research direction

Reproduce Insomnia 10.3.0 on Manjaro Linux with Git sync enabled, connected to a VPN without outside connectivity, and observe when the UI stops responding. Trace the network or startup operation responsible for the delay; done means the UI remains responsive in this environment while normal Git sync behavior is preserved.
