Start by reproducing the Windows setup with the reported R, VSCode, and vscode-R versions, using the attached init.txt and settings.txt files. Trace the reported failure from document_link_reply through fs::path_abs and the PATH_MAX error. Done means identifying and documenting a reliable workaround or preventing the language server from exiting in this scenario.
