Restarting or switching profiles starts the issue again

Research direction

Start with the OBS Studio log at https://obsproject.com/logs/ouV2ATTWbAoa03eO and reproduce the Twitch authentication failure using the listed profile-switching steps. Done means OBS can authenticate and stream after opening, closing, or switching profiles without deleting obs_profile_cookies or flushing DNS.
