Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the VS Code Marketplace installation with PAC CLI v1.32.8 already installed, then trace the extension's PAC CLI detection and preparation flow. Done means the existing installation is recognized and the extension no longer remains stuck on “Preparing PAC CLI.”
