Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the new-device login flow with Copilot for Xcode 0.47.0, Xcode 26, and macOS 26.31, then trace the verification-code handling and its recovery path. Done means a new device can complete login when the other device is unavailable, with coverage for the reported scenario.
