Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in MakeCode's Cog > About flow with Bluetooth download enabled, a paired V2.1 board, and Edge or Chrome on Windows 10/11. Compare the download behavior with the expected Bluetooth path; done means code downloads to the paired board without requesting a USB connection.
