Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the autofill failure in the browser extension on Windows with Chrome and build 1.56.1, using the reported steps and screenshot as references. Trace the selected-entry autofill path after the domain is detected; done means the password autofills instead of showing the copy-and-paste error.
