Research direction
Reproduce the problem with MATLAB R2024b Update 8, a nested base URL such as /a/b, and Microsoft Edge, then compare behavior with an older R2024b update. Check that opening a file works and that file icons and navigation-bar buttons render correctly; the workaround is to use MWI_BASE_URL=/.
