C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\configuration\\org.eclipse.osgi\\...
What it is: Infrastructure of the Eclipse RCP/OSGi platform The Lab is built on.
What it does: Keeps the registry of loaded plugins/bundles, versions, and startup state. Files like framework.info.* list active bundles; .manager / fileTable.* are internal indices/caches. Does not store credentials.
C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\configuration\\org.eclipse.core.runtime\\... and ...\\org.eclipse.equinox.app\\...
What it is: Configuration of the Eclipse application layer (Equinox).
What it does: Stores runtime state and startup caches. No sensitive login data.
C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\workspace\\.metadata\\.plugins\\org.eclipse.core.runtime\\.settings\\com.magicleap.*.prefs
What it is: Per-plugin preferences for The Lab.
What it does: *.prefs (key=value) files with UI prefs, recent devices list, default SDK, etc. Useful to restore your environment look & feel; not where session tokens live.
C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\workspace\\log\\thelab.log
What it is: The Lab’s main log.
What it does: Records OSGi sessions, Java version, SDK selection, package provider messages, and Zero Iteration (ZI)/Unity bridge events. Good for diagnosing network/toolchain; typically does not log auth secrets.
C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\workspace\\webview\\localstorage\\
What it is: Embedded webview storage (cookies/IndexedDB/LevelDB).
What it does: Where web-UI session artifacts could live. In this case it’s empty, meaning no session data was written here on this machine.
C:\\Users\\<USER>\\MagicLeap\\TheLab\\configuration\\pm_data\\published\\public\\packages.json
What it is: The Lab’s internal package manager cache/catalog.
What it does: List of available IDE packages/extensions. No credentials.

What it is: Zero Iteration (ZI) backend.
What it does: Tools for real-time streaming/preview between PC ↔ device (often via mldb/port 5555). This is where “session” messages appear—but they are tool backend sessions, not user login.

What it is: Auxiliary RCP editor app.
What it does: Edits/views resources (layouts, etc.). Stores UI prefs only.
