Research direction

Start with kbfs_ops.go:getMaybeCreateRootNode and connection.go:waitForConnection, then inspect the related entries in tlf.go and dir.go. Use the attached KBFS and service logs to determine why the connection reaches context.deadlineExceededError on Windows 10; done means KBFS opens successfully and the failure has a verified resolution.
