Research direction
Start at src/actions/commands/commandLine.ts:28 and trace the . handling through src/mode/modeHandler.ts, especially rerunRecordedState and actionToRecord, using the supplied stack trace as the entry point. Reproduce the failure with VSCodeVim 1.22.1 and verify that handling . no longer fails because vimState.commandLine is undefined.
