Research direction

Start by reproducing the Amazon Q login from VS Code running inside WSL on Windows 11, using the reported versions and default Microsoft Edge setting. Compare it with the working SSO login from the WSL terminal; done means the browser opens for authentication and the VS Code login completes.
