Research direction

Investigate the agent's local computer connectivity implementation in the Rust codebase, focusing on the connection handshake and command execution paths. Reproduce the issue by connecting a local MacBook and running a read-only command, then examine the logs to identify the source of the internal error. The fix should address the connection failure or improve error handling to provide a meaningful message.
