Research direction
Start by reproducing the login flow in the reported Ubuntu WSL and Windows VS Code setup, then trace where the API key is persisted at /home/code/.local/share/socket/settings. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means login completes without the EISDIR error and the settings path works in this environment.
