IDE hangs on startup: "invalid path creating config dir"

Thank you.
Not much to report. I'm going to try again later, and also to be able to not show confidential information. At the first attempt, terminal returned the following:
zsh: no such file or directory: /Applications/Arduino
And yet, the Arduino application is right there in the applications directory.

When I use finder to search for the Arduino IDE, and then use the copy pathname option, the following path is returned.
'/Applications/Arduino IDE.app'
