Research direction

Start with the device-login flow enabled by al.useInteractiveLogin: false and reproduce the Copy & Open action in the login dialog on Windows. Confirm that copying still works and that the action also opens the device-login URL; the issue names no source file or test, so locate the flow before determining appropriate coverage.
