Description
I'm having trouble getting hover documentation to work as expected and for outlines to appear. I suspect that these are linked to the same issue flagged by my R Language Server output:
The language client requires VS Code version ^1.82.0 but received version 1.71.2.
What I'd like to know is how can I resolve this without updating VS Code (not my machine, have no rights). Is this a meaningful error and does the current language server really not work on a version of VS Code that is only a year or so old (or is it an overly cautious flag)?
Win 10
VS Code 1.71.2
R 4.1.2
Language Server 3.1.15
Any tips for getting around this would be welcome.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing hover documentation and outline behavior with VS Code 1.71.2, R 4.1.2, and Language Server 3.1.15, then inspect the reported language-client version requirement. Done means determining whether this version combination is supported and documenting any confirmed workaround that does not require updating VS Code.
