Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported credential loss in Desktop App 3.9.12 on Windows 11, using a Rocket.Chat 6.6.0 server, and determine whether it occurs after roughly two weeks. Trace the desktop app's sign-in persistence behavior and verify that a remembered user remains authenticated across that interval without requiring credentials again.
