Description
This is on a clean laptop at a new job. I've installed VSCode and R 4.4.3 (both as a user install) along with the REditorSupport extension. lintr fails with the following error:
Failed to run diagnostics: ! in callr subprocess.
Caused by error in `lintr::lint(path, cache = cache, text = content)`:
! Linter `linter()` failed in '':
Caused by error in `normalizePath()`:
! path[1]="": The system cannot find the path specified
All my packages were installed fresh from CRAN this week; in particular lintr is version 3.2.0. What could be causing this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with a fresh user install of VSCode, R 4.4.3, the REditorSupport extension, and lintr 3.2.0. Trace the diagnostics path around the reported callr subprocess and normalizePath() error; done means lint diagnostics run without this failure on the stated setup.
