Description
I like that `cfnLint.path` lets you customize which version of [`cfn-lint`](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint/) the extension uses, but it might help those that haven't installed [`cfn-lint`](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint/) if the extension bundled the latest version of [`cfn-lint`](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint/) by default

[The online demo](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint/pull/1513#issuecomment-1083537053) pre-configures the environment with this dependency if anyone is having installation problems
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the extension handles cfnLint.path and how the online demo provides cfn-lint. Determine how the latest cfn-lint can be bundled as the default while preserving the custom path. Done means users without a separate cfn-lint installation receive the bundled version, while existing path customization still works.
