Research direction
Start in app/pages/project/instances/instance/SerialConsolePage.tsx at lines 57-67 and inspect how connection failures are handled. Add the MSW-specific explanation requested by the issue, using the existing connection-failure path; done means users are clearly told that serial console is not expected to work in MSW mode.
