Research direction

Start by reproducing the login flow in the GitHub app on Windows 10 and checking session persistence between sessions. The issue names no source file, entry point, or test, so locate the relevant authentication code first. Done means a user is not prompted to log in again on every session, with coverage for the fixed behavior.
