Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the app on Windows 11 with version 0.0.30-nightly.20260728.928, then trace the installed-editor discovery used by the top-right Open button. Done means the dropdown detects available editors such as VS Code, Cursor, or Explorer instead of showing “No installed editors found,” and the Open button works.
