Rstudio console and panes are not available on startup

Error Information: Rstudio will not open any windows upon start-up and cannot open any Rscripts or other files

Description of issue -
Rstudio has been working perfectly for the past 6 months
Today, I was unable to open any windows upon starting the program
I am able to quit but nothing else works

Attempted steps taken to fix -
I read all available troubleshooting guides - this seems most similar to my issue even though it is dated: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/200663887-RStudio-windows-do-not-show-on-startup

I reset Rstudio's state
I uninstalled Rstudio / R and reinstalled both
I uninstalled Rstudio / R and reinstalled older versions
I restarted my computer

From RStudio Desktop Will Not Start on support.rstudio.com

This path looks pretty suspicious. Any idea why RStudio is being run from this private folder? What happens if you try to launch RStudio from a command line with e.g.

open /Applications/RStudio.app
