Research direction
Start by reading the linked Positron beta issue #169 and then trace the current Windows R discovery behavior. Done means the discovery approach accounts for Scoop's “current” R and Rtools layout; the payload names no files or tests to run.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
From private beta https://github.com/posit-dev/positron-beta/issues/169
The scoop package manager sets up a "current" version of R and Rtools in what I would describe as a macOS-y way, but on Windows. Next time we expand and broaden R discovery on Windows, it would be good to consider and anticipate what scoop does.
