Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the sign-in flow with VSCode 1.80.1 from Flathub on Fedora Workstation 38, then inspect how the Flatpak handles credential storage across application restarts. Done means syncing credentials persist after closing and reopening VSCode.

Description

Since the update to VSCode 1.80.x, it can no longer remember credentials for syncing. I have to sign in everytime I open VSCode.
