What did you do?

Opened a Go template file (configured via templateExtensions) in a directory where go list fails due to an external tool error (in my case, mise fails to source a shell script in that directory).

What did you see happen?

The full error text (including multi-line stderr output) is placed into the message field of a $/progress report (kind: "report"). The progress token for workspace loading remains active (never receives kind: "end" or receives it much later).

In editors that render $/progress as a persistent floating window (e.g., Neovim with fidget.nvim), this causes the verbose error dump to hang on screen indefinitely, covering buffer content with no way to dismiss it. The message is not recorded in the editor's notification history since it is a progress report, not a notification.

What did you expect to see?

Errors from packages.Load (and similar workspace-level failures) should be sent via window/showMessage with MessageType.Error. The $/progress message field should contain only short human-readable status text (e.g., "Error loading workspace"), not the full error dump.

Editor and settings

Neovim v0.11.6, https://github.com/powerman/config.nvim

Workaround for this issue was added in powerman/config.nvim@e079907

The logic responsible is here in cache.server.addFolders:

	var nsnapshots sync.WaitGroup // number of unfinished snapshot initializations
	for _, folder := range folders {
		uri, err := protocol.ParseDocumentURI(folder.URI)
		if err != nil {
			viewErrors[folder.URI] = fmt.Errorf("invalid folder URI: %v", err)
			continue
		}
		work := s.progress.Start(ctx, "Setting up workspace", "Loading packages...", nil, nil)
		snapshot, release, err := s.addView(ctx, folder.Name, uri)
		if err != nil {
			if err == cache.ErrViewExists {
				continue
			}
			viewErrors[folder.URI] = err
			work.End(ctx, fmt.Sprintf("Error loading packages: %s", err))   // <--- HERE

It may pass the message back to the client using either showMessage or a $/process RPC, depending on whether the client supports window/workDoneProgress/create. But I agree the full child stderr is probably not an appropriate message in either case; it should be printed in the server log and then an abridged version displayed in the client UI.
