Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating XcodesApp’s current Apple ID login and 2FA flow, then review Apple’s passkey support requirements. Done means defining and implementing passkey authentication without the existing login/password and 2FA flow, with coverage for the supported authentication paths.
