In the future, it is expected to connect to MATLAB Online as the backend computation service by specifying your MathWorks account.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the extension's existing local MATLAB connection flow and the MATLAB Online account-based access requirements described in the issue. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first identify where the current MATLAB ROOT connection is implemented. Done means VS Code can use MATLAB Online as its computation backend after MathWorks account configuration.
