Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with vim.vimrc.enable and vim.vimrc.path set to ${workspaceFolder}/.vimrc in .vscode/settings.json, using the reported VS Code and extension versions. Trace how the extension resolves vim.vimrc.path and add coverage for the predefined variable; done means the workspace-root .vimrc is loaded successfully.
