[VS Code CLI/Server] 'keyring communication timed out after 5s' / keyring storage errors on headless Linux — CLI falls back to file keychain (VSCODE_CLI_USE_FILE_KEYCHAIN)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): CLI wraps keyring calls with a 5 s timeout and then uses file storage; setting VSCODE_CLI_USE_FILE_KEYCHAIN or an existing file store makes it prefer file storage. Server without keyring keeps Settings Sync secrets in memory only for its lifetime. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Strings read from the VS Code CLI Rust source (main branch) at the pinned SHA; shipped CLI may lag. - File keychain stores tokens on disk (0600); evaluate the security tradeoff. - Not reproduced in this session.
