Research direction

Start with the org.eclipse.lsp4e Error Log entry and the GitHub Copilot Language Server's toolCallingLoop failure for conversation requests on the stated Windows environment. Reproduce the ECONNRESET if possible, then identify and address the failure so chat requests complete reliably or the cause and handling are clearly documented.
