Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the flow on Android 15 with Edge 139.0.3405.125 and Bitwarden 2025.8.2, then trace the autofill unlock interaction. Done means the unlock button opens Bitwarden and the locked-account dropdown remains visible at each expected checkpoint.
