Research direction

Start by reproducing the OAuth login flow in VS Code: log in with Atlassian, open a folder, then switch to another folder. Trace the authentication and workspace-change handling to find why the session is not reused; done means switching folders no longer shows the Bitbucket Cloud login error after the initial login.
