Description

There's a longstanding issue where the interactive az login doesn't work with GitHub Codespaces in browser https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/20315

This extension has Azure sign-in that works properly with Codespaces in browser, but it doesn't seem to sign-in for Azure CLI in the terminal. It would be great if it could, like the GitHub extension and gh CLI both work seamlessly in this aspect.

Research direction

The issue names the Azure sign-in flow, the integrated terminal, and az login, but no files or tests. Start by locating the extension's sign-in entry point and how it interacts with the terminal, then verify the desired behavior in a browser-based GitHub Codespace: signing in through the extension should also authenticate Azure CLI.
