I am running vscode inside WSL in windows 11, When I try to login to Amazon Q from VS Code, It shows Authenticating in browser... But the browser doesnt pop up. I had configured MSEdge as default browser to open. when I try sso logins from the WSL terminal which works fine by opening browser for the login screen. Please help

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.
