I just had opportunity to opportunity to work on this machine again. I have tested Julia 1.10 with latest VScode and Julia language support v1.54.2. Unfortunately the problem persists.  
There is an issue with write permissions:

```julia
The Language Server failed to precompile.
Please make sure you have permissions to write to the LS depot path at
	/Users/imac/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/julialang.language-julia/lsdepot/v1

```

However, write permissions do not seem to be the issue: I added write permissions to all and there was no effect.  
In fact I wonder if the space in `Application Support` could the issue. On this OS, this path is simply not valid: ` /Users/imac/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/julialang.language-julia/lsdepot/v1`  
Only this one is valid:  
`/Users/imac/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/julialang.language-julia/lsdepot/v1`  
Is there a way to manually edit this path? Adding the backslash may solve this issue and probably [that one](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-language-server-failed-to-precompile/103286) too.
