Research direction

The error occurs during Azure sign-in. Start by examining the authentication flow in the codebase, likely in a directory related to Azure identity or UI dialogs. Look for where 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' is thrown, possibly in C#/.NET code. Reproduce the issue locally on macOS arm64 to see the stack trace. Determine which object is null and why the credential handling fails.
