Research direction

Start by reproducing the VSCode extension activation with the reported VSCode and rust-analyzer versions, then collect the missing rustc, editor-extension, and settings details requested by the issue template. Done means identifying why VSCode searches for the wrong rust-analyzer binary and confirming that the extension activates with the correct installation.
