Research direction

Reproduce the first sync with the shown profile using signaturealgorithm = auto, then compare it with the successful HmacSHA1 configuration. Trace the signature-algorithm detection used by sync and list virtualmachines; done when both commands work on the initial sync without requiring a manual algorithm override.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

"Error: failed to detect signature algorithm" during first sync with signaturealgorithm = auto in the profile. Able to continue after setting signaturealgorithm to HmacSHA1.
