Browsers open a vscode:// link only after a click on the page. With a live
identity provider session the sign-in ran without one, so the editor kept
waiting. On the desktop the browser now returns to a one-off listener on
127.0.0.1; remote and web editors keep the URI handler.
Several people edit one model at once through a server you run yourself
(archify-vscode-ext-sync); the files stay ordinary files on each disk.
Sign-in through the browser, offline-first with later merge, teammates'
cursors in the Source view and text editors, and a Shared section on the
model page with people, versions, Compare and Restore.
Without a server nothing changes: the sync code is a separate bundle that
loads only when a model is shared, after a sign-in, or when a sync command
or invite link is used.
