Research direction
Start with GithubClient.downloadToFile at line 118 and its executeWithRetry path at line 64, then follow AzureMcpPackageManager.getAzureMcpExecutable and GithubCopilotMcpInitializer.initializeAzureMcpServer. Reproduce the Azure MCP initialization on the reported IntelliJ and macOS versions and determine the expected handling when the download raises a connection reset; done means initialization no longer produces this uncaught exception.
