Description

The three UI elements (configuration, build target, launch target) start as unset. Once set to something (if their quickPicks have values to offer) they can't be unset, unless by running the troubleshooting command which cleans all three (and more other state vars) at once.

Research direction

Inspect the side-panel controls for configuration, build target, and launch target, along with their quickPicks behavior. Trace how values are set and how the troubleshooting command clears them; done means each element can be unset independently without clearing unrelated state.
