Research direction

Review the unchecked items in the DataKitchen checklist, especially ESS login redirects and logout, MacOS and Windows testing, context-menu actions, ontology search, and bookmarking. Confirm which remaining enhancement is intended before starting; done should mean the selected item works and its platform or Solid-specific behavior is verified.
