Research direction

Start with the activation stack trace and inspect DefaultTelemetryService at extension/out/src/shared/telemetry/defaultTelemetryService.js:31, then follow its construction from extension/out/src/extension.js:80. Reproduce activation on Theia and verify that telemetry persistence no longer fails because of an undefined path.
