Research direction

Start by reproducing the macOS flow from “Continue with Apple” through the Chrome browser callback using the reported Folo and Chrome versions. Trace the desktop authentication redirect and identify why returning to Folo fails; done means the browser returns to Folo and the user is logged in successfully.
