Research direction

Start by investigating the stack-trace locations in src/transformations/execute.ts, src/mode/modeHandler.ts, and extensionBase.ts, then reproduce the failure involving the " key and macro "us-west-1". Done means the key and macro no longer produce the reported execution error; no test file is named in the issue.
