Bug Report

Feature Area: LSP Runtime Lifecycle — initialization options
Severity: High — custom initialization options in LSP server config are silently discarded
Source: src/cleveragents/lsp/lifecycle.py, src/cleveragents/lsp/client.py


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of LspLifecycleManager.start_server() and LspClient.initialize() to verify that LspServerConfig.initialization options are passed through to the LSP initialize handshake.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec (Section "LSP Server Configuration Files") defines an init_options field (implemented as initialization in the model) that should be sent as initializationOptions in the LSP initialize request. The LspClient.initialize() method already accepts an initialization_options parameter for exactly this purpose:

def initialize(
    self,
    workspace_path: str,
    initialization_options: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
) -> dict[str, Any]:

Actual Behavior

In src/cleveragents/lsp/lifecycle.py, start_server() calls client.initialize() with only the workspace path — the initialization_options parameter is never passed:

# lifecycle.py, Phase 2 — start_server()
client = LspClient(transport, server_name=config.name)
try:
    client.initialize(workspace_path)  # <-- initialization_options NOT passed!
except Exception:
    transport.stop()
    raise

The same omission exists in restart_server():

# lifecycle.py, Phase 2 — restart_server()
client = LspClient(transport, server_name=name)
try:
    client.initialize(workspace_path)  # <-- initialization_options NOT passed!
except Exception:
    transport.stop()
    raise

The config.initialization dict (which may contain server-specific options like python.analysis.typeCheckingMode) is never read or forwarded.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/lsp/lifecycle.pystart_server() (Phase 2, ~line 80) and restart_server() (Phase 2, ~line 170)
  • src/cleveragents/lsp/client.pyinitialize() method (accepts initialization_options but never receives them)

Impact

Any LSP server configuration that relies on initialization options (e.g., Pyright's python.analysis.typeCheckingMode, TypeScript's tsserver.useSingleInferredProject) will silently use server defaults instead of the user-configured values. This is a silent data loss bug.

Fix

In lifecycle.py, pass config.initialization to client.initialize():

# start_server() Phase 2
client.initialize(
    workspace_path,
    initialization_options=config.initialization or None,
)

# restart_server() Phase 2 — use the snapshotted config
client.initialize(
    workspace_path,
    initialization_options=config.initialization or None,
)

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified — Clear bug report with code analysis showing initialization_options parameter exists but is never passed. Valid and actionable.
  • Priority: Medium — Silent data loss for LSP init options is concerning but doesn't break core functionality. LSP servers still start, just with default options.
  • Milestone: v3.7.0 — LSP Runtime is part of the v3.7.0 scope (Epic #824: LSP Functional Runtime).
  • Story Points: 2 — S — Two-line fix in lifecycle.py (start_server and restart_server). Well-defined change.
  • MoSCoW: Should Have — LSP initialization options are important for proper server configuration but the LSP subsystem works without them.
  • Parent Epic: #824 (Epic: LSP Functional Runtime)

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Removed conflicting label: State/In Progress
  • Retained: State/Verified (the more advanced state)
  • Reason: Issue had both State/In Progress and State/Verified simultaneously, which is a contradiction. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, each issue must have exactly one State/* label. State/Verified is the more advanced state and has been retained.
