Launcher shows no available installations; cannot download version manifest from https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest_v2.json

On a fresh installation of Minecraft Java Launcher on mac OSX (Mac OS Monterey 12.6.7) I observe no installations available in the "Installations" tab. When I click Play to play the latest release, I see a NO_SUCH_VERSION error.

 

Browsing to "Installations" shows no available versions:

 

Checking ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/launcher_log.txt shows these errors trying to download the version manifest file:

When I browse to https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest_v2.json locally in Chrome I see a certificate error on this site and receive a 403 error from Cloudfront:
