Phase 9 of 9 — last one. Stacked on #32 (Phase 8).

Pure docs. No source changes.

README.md

New `## LSP integration` section above semantic-tools. Tool matrix, the four built-in servers (rust-analyzer / typescript-language-server / pyright / clojure-lsp) and their per-server root-finding rules, disable mechanism.

CONFIG.md

New `## LSP configuration` section between MCP and ACP. Documents:

  • The three accepted forms of `lsp`: `true` / `false` / per-server override map
  • All per-server fields (`command`, `extensions`, `env`, `initialization`, `disabled`)
  • The `--no-lsp` CLI flag
  • Built-in server commands
  • Lazy spawn + inflight dedupe behavior
  • Known limitations (`extensions` override currently ignored; four built-ins in v1)

Links to the manual test plan.

docs/LSP_MANUAL_TEST.md (new)

Six scenarios that exercise the live rust-analyzer path that CI can't reach:

  1. Diagnostic surfacing after a deliberately broken edit (verifies the `` block surfaces in tool output within the 10 s bounded wait).
  2. `lsp` tool hover at a known position.
  3. `workspaceSymbol` search returns matches.
  4. Concurrent file touches don't spawn duplicate servers (`ps aux | grep rust-analyzer` confirms).
  5. `--no-lsp` + `--no-default-features` paths both work.
  6. Broken spawn marks the (root, server_id) pair and doesn't retry.

Each scenario lists failure modes to watch for. Explicit "what this plan doesn't cover" section pointing at the unit tests for the things they already exercise (framing, dedupe, URI round-trips, etc.).

Test plan

  • `cargo build` clean
  • `cargo test --bin dirge -- --skip plugin` → 426 passing
  • `cargo fmt --check` clean
  • Manual scenarios from `docs/LSP_MANUAL_TEST.md` — to be run before merging the stack to main.

End of the LSP stack

PRs #25#26#27#28#29#30#31#32#33 form the dependency chain. Once #25 lands the rest auto-retarget to main (assuming they're merged in order).

PR Phase What
#25 1 Server registry + workspace-root finder + language map
#26 2 JSON-RPC framing + request correlation + initialize handshake
#27 3 File lifecycle + diagnostic state + wait_for_push
#28 4 Orchestrator (lazy spawn + inflight dedup + fan-out)
#29 5 Agent-facing `lsp` tool
#30 6 edit-tool diagnostic integration
#31 7 CLI + config plumbing through build_channels
#32 8 Feature gate + Channels struct refactor
#33 9 Docs + manual test plan

Total: ~6000 lines including tests, 120 LSP-specific unit tests, default-on `lsp` feature, opt-out via `--no-lsp` or `--no-default-features --features 'loop git-worktree mcp'`.

README.md
- New ## LSP integration section above semantic-tools. Covers the tool
  matrix (read warms / write+edit surface diagnostics / lsp tool for
  ad-hoc queries), the four built-in servers + their root resolution,
  and the disable mechanism (--no-lsp / lsp:false in config).

CONFIG.md
- New ## LSP configuration section between MCP and ACP. Documents the
  three accepted forms (bool / per-server map), per-server fields, CLI
  flag, built-in server commands, lazy spawn + dedupe behavior, known
  limitations (extensions override currently ignored; 4 built-ins in v1).
- Links to docs/LSP_MANUAL_TEST.md for the live-server smoke test.

docs/LSP_MANUAL_TEST.md (new)
- Six scenarios for verifying the end-to-end LSP path that unit tests
  can't reach (real rust-analyzer process):
  1. Diagnostic surfacing on a deliberately broken edit
  2. lsp tool: hover at a known position
  3. workspaceSymbol search returns matches
  4. Concurrent edits don't spawn duplicate servers
  5. --no-lsp + --no-default-features path
  6. Broken spawn doesn't retry (broken-set behavior)
- Failure-mode notes for each scenario.
- Explicit list of what the manual test does NOT cover (already
  exercised by unit tests).

No source changes. Tests still pass (426). End of the LSP stack.

…aths (#111)

23 audit findings verified REAL via parallel agent verification +
cross-check against opencode/pi reference patterns. Shipping the
10 most concrete fixes here; the rest go in a follow-up docs/test
batch.

## Security

- **#9 bash quote_aware_split missed bare `|`** —
  `safe_cmd | rm -rf /` was treated as one segment; only the
  LHS got permission-checked. Pipe RHS rode in unchecked under
  the fallback (non-semantic-bash) path. Added single-byte `|`
  split after `||` is matched. The tree-sitter path was already
  correct.

- **#4 read.rs no binary detection** — feeding a PDF/ELF/.pyc
  into the LLM as lossy UTF-8 wasted tokens and confused the
  model. Ported opencode `read.ts:153-198`: reject by
  extension list (zip/exe/.o/.pdf/.png/etc.), then sniff the
  first 4 KiB — null byte = binary, >30% non-printable = binary.
  Clear error message tells the agent to use bash + xxd instead.

## Correctness

- **#2 skill override inverted** — README contract: "Project
  skills override global skills by name". Code used
  `map.entry(name).or_insert(skill)` which KEEPS the first
  (global) value and silently drops project overrides. Switch
  to `map.insert` (last-write-wins) since globals iterate
  first and project iterates second.

- **#37 skill empty name** — frontmatter `name:` with empty
  value parsed to "", which then matched any `skill ""` call
  silently. Fall back to directory name when frontmatter name
  is empty/whitespace-only.

- **#1 session_tree.janet hook never fired** — plugin defined
  `(defn on-message ...)` but `(def hooks [])` was empty AND
  the hook name doesn't exist (dirge uses `on-message-update`).
  `/label` was permanently broken ("no entry yet"). Fix:
  rename to `on-message-update` + register in hooks vector.

- **#7 workflow.janet hooks vector missing entries** — plugin
  defined `workflow-on-tool-end`, `-on-error`, `-on-complete`
  but only registered the first four hook names. Three hooks
  were dead. Added them.

- **#26 MCP malformed JSON silently empty args** —
  `serde_json::from_str(&args).unwrap_or_default()` turned bad
  JSON into None, sending the server an empty argument set.
  Server then errored with confusing "missing required field"
  instead of dirge surfacing the actual parse error. Now returns
  ToolError with the parse error message + first 200 chars of
  the offending JSON.

- **#22 /prompt default unreachable** — README documents
  `default` as a built-in prompt (prompts/default.md exists),
  but `/prompt default` was intercepted as a magic "clear"
  keyword. If `default` is registered in `context.prompts`,
  the new branch falls through to the normal name-lookup. Only
  acts as clear-keyword when no `default` prompt is present
  (legacy fallback).

- **#23 /allow add accepted invalid tools** — typo
  `/allow add bsah ...` silently created an inert rule the
  user couldn't debug. Added a known-tools whitelist matching
  PermissionConfig fields; unknown tools error with the valid
  list.

## Performance + correctness

- **#11 grep loaded whole files into memory** — no size cap
  meant a 9MB file got fully buffered. Added 10 MiB per-file
  cap via metadata pre-check.

- **#15 Python dunder methods marked non-exported** —
  `!name.starts_with('_')` treats `__init__`/`__call__`/etc.
  as private, even though they're Python's standard public
  protocol. Recognize `__x__` dunder pattern as exported.

## UI

- **#36 panel char-count truncation vs Unicode width** — panel
  truncation used `chars().count()` while wide emoji and CJK
  take 2 cells. A status line with an emoji overflowed the
  right border by one cell. Switched to
  `UnicodeWidthStr::width` for both truncation and padding.

## Tests

4 new regression tests:
- `test_is_binary_extension_known` — pdf/tgz/.so/.jpg/.pyc
- `test_is_binary_content_null_byte` — null byte trigger,
  UTF-8 Japanese stays clean, all-non-printable triggers
- `quote_aware_split_splits_on_bare_pipe` — pipe security
- `quote_aware_split_or_and_pipe_distinct` — `a || b | c`
  produces 3 segments, not 2

725 plugin / 599 default pass. All build profiles clean.

## Verified false positives (not fixed, audit was wrong)

- #3 cache.rs clear() race — generation counter gating in
  `get` makes stale entries invisible, no correctness impact.
- #17 DeepSeek auto-detect priority — auto-detect only fires
  when env vars present; default-default is still OpenRouter.
- #19 semantic tools in collision filter — semantic tools
  added separately, can't be shadowed by MCP.
- #20 glob global gitignore — intentionally disabled to match
  grep behavior.
- #28 nearest_root blocking std::fs — function doesn't exist
  in current code.
- #32 ReadArgs.path vs GrepArgs.path — semantically different
  by design (file vs dir), documented in schema.
- #33 install_plugin_providers dead-without-feature — gated
  with explicit `#[cfg_attr(not(feature), allow(dead_code))]`.
- #34 websearch double-gated — config + API key serve distinct
  purposes (enable + auth).

## Deferred to follow-up batches

Docs-only fixes (#6 CONFIG.md tools, #12 temperature, #13
--api-key, #14 acp_host/port), MCP/LSP architecture (#8, #25,
#27), test gaps (#38-40), and lower-priority polish — all in
a follow-up PR.
