Research direction
Start by tracing the CodeQL VS Code extension flow that opens files from the database's src.zip source archive, using the reported codeql-zip-archive URI and the pipes error as clues. Reproduce the database setup with the listed CodeQL CLI commands, then verify that source files and query-result locations open successfully and that the generated URI no longer fails.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the bug
It is not possible to open files from the codeql source archive.
The codeql database was created locally with codeql CLI like follows:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON $PWD
codeql database init --overwrite --language=cpp --source-root=$PWD codeql-db
codeql database trace-command codeql-db --working-dir=$PWD/build -- make
codeql database finalize codeql-db
Then, the DB was added to the codeQL VSCode extension as "From a folder". In the codeql-db directory there is a file src.zip (seen in the screenshot). However, when I try to open a file (by clicking on it in the explorer), I've got an error message which says: "Unable to open 'example.cpp (read-only)': Unable to read file 'codeql-zip-archive://0-52/home/a.bokowy/codeql-presentation/codeql-db/src.zip/home/a.bokowy/codeql-presentation/example.cpp' (TypeError: Cannot read property 'pipes' of undefined)." The strange thing though is the 0-52 before the /home in the codeql-zip-archive URI.
It's also not possible to open the location of the query by clicking on the file name in the CodeQL Query Result explorer.

Expected behavior
Be able to open files from source archive.
Additional info
The strange thing is, that "sometimes" I am able to add database source to the explorer, so I'm able to open files, see query results and browse AST. I don't know how to reproduce the correct behavior, though. I've tried various things, like removing codeQL database from VSCode, restarting VSCode and then adding codeQL DB once more, etc. None of these attempts has resulted in successful outcome.
