Description
It works fine on Windows, but on WSL it tries to open the default browser in Linux (here, Chrome):
This is when invoking it via workiq ask. When using it as plugin in copilot it fails with "MCP error -32001: Request timed out" without opening the browser.
Instead, it should open the host browser such that the Windows native credentials can be used.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with workiq ask under WSL, then compare it with the copilot plugin path and trace where each attempts to open the browser. Done means both paths open the Windows host browser rather than a Linux browser, allowing Windows-native credentials to be used without a timeout.
