Research direction
The report names no source file or test entry point. Start by reproducing the login failure with supersecret^ from ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml, then trace password authentication and configuration parsing. Done means the password succeeds with the special character and a regression test or explicit password requirement documentation is added.
