Research direction
Start by reproducing the browser activation failure in code-server 4.114.0 and inspect the vscode.git extension at lib/vscode/extensions/git/dist/main.js, along with the extension host path shown in the log. Check why @vscode/fs-copyfile cannot be resolved in this build. Done means the vscode.git extension activates normally and Git visualization works in the browser.
