Research direction

Start with the connection dialog flow while an SQL script is open, focusing on the SQL Database projects area identified in the report. Reproduce the failure on Windows 11 in Cursor AI IDE, then trace the interaction between the open script and database connection. Done means a database connection can be opened successfully with a new SQL script present.
