For test environments (e.g., `test1.theia-test.artemis.cit.tum.de`):
Four settings, derived from the environment's **landing host**. Every value
carries the `https://` scheme.

Add language identifiers to the fenced examples.

The three fenced code blocks omit language identifiers. Add text or another suitable identifier after each opening fence to satisfy markdownlint MD040.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the URL setting count.

This block lists five Keycloak settings: Root URL, Home URL, Valid redirect URIs, Valid post logout redirect URIs, and Web origins. Change “Four settings” to “Five settings” so the description matches the required configuration.

In `@docs/keycloak-setup.md` around lines 53 - 68, Update the introductory
description above the Keycloak URL configuration block from “Four settings” to
“Five settings” so it matches the listed settings: Root URL, Home URL, Valid
redirect URIs, Valid post logout redirect URIs, and Web origins.


The post-logout entries need **both** forms, the bare `/` and the `/*`.

For `test1`, whose landing host is `test1.eduide.student.k8s.aet.cit.tum.de`:

Home URL: https://theia.artemis.cit.tum.de

> **The service and webview hosts are deliberately absent.** An installation

> certificates; the Keycloak client names two. Do not pad this list out.

Landing hosts for every environment are listed in
[environments.md](environments.md).

**Solutions:**
- Verify all redirect URIs are correctly configured in Keycloak
- Check that wildcard redirect URIs include `/*` suffix
- Check the redirect URIs end in `/*`, that the post logout list has both `https://<landing-host>/` and `https://<landing-host>/*`, and that the web origins carry no path suffix at all
- Ensure cookie secret is correctly base64-encoded
- Verify all URLs use HTTPS
