How are you building clang-tidy? The clang static-analyzer may not
have been built.
I believe the static analyzer is built as a part of clang, not as a
part of clang-tools-extra.

I use this command to build.
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="release"
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86;AArch64;ARM;RISCV"
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;clang-tools-extra;lld;llvm-as"
-DLLVM_ENABLE_LLD=1 -G "Ninja" ../llvm

Adding clang to the list of -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS will build the
static analyzer.
-DCLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER=1 might also work, but I haven't tested it.

I tested the patchset and both clang-tidy and clang-analyzer work for me.
