Description

On osx this happens everytime vscode is updated or the compute restart and tries to reopen vscode automatically for some obscure reason. The PATH doesn't seem populated correctly.

But the result is 3 popup window that take a lot of space and feel spammy

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on macOS after a VS Code update or compute restart, when VS Code reopens automatically and the PATH is not populated correctly. Start by tracing the compiler-not-found error flow shown in the report and determine why three popup windows appear. Done means the missing compiler is reported without duplicate popups and the result is no longer spammy.
