# LSP navigation
English | [中文](lsp.zh.md)
The LSP seam — a [capability seam](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-15-lsp-capability-seam.md) exposing semantic code navigation on one `ctx.lsp` service, split across packages: Service Definition ([dsh-lsp](../../packages/lsp/lsp), `ctx.lsp` + the provider registry), a generic Service Provider ([dsh-lsp-stdio](../../packages/lsp/lsp-stdio), a configured stdio language-server host), and Consumer ([dsh-tool-lsp](../../packages/lsp/tool-lsp), the `lsp` tool schema). LSP is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). A provider swap does not change how the model asks for navigation.
Source: [`packages/lsp/lsp/src/types.ts`](../../packages/lsp/lsp/src/types.ts)
## Operations and coordinates
The seam and model expose exactly four semantic queries; the union is closed, so adding one is a compile-enforced change across the seam, providers, and the tool. Positions and ranges are zero-based UTF-16, matching the protocol; the model-facing tool owns the one-based cursor convention and converts on the way in and out.
```ts type-equiv
/**
* The four semantic queries the seam and model expose. A closed union: adding an operation is a
* compile-enforced change across the seam, providers, and the tool. Symbols and call hierarchy are
* not operations here; they need different schemas.
*/
type LspOperation = 'goToDefinition' | 'findReferences' | 'goToImplementation' | 'hover'
```
```ts type-equiv
/** A zero-based UTF-16 cursor coordinate, matching the LSP wire convention. */
interface LspPosition {
/** Zero-based line. */
readonly line: number
/** Zero-based UTF-16 code-unit offset within the line. */
readonly character: number
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/** A zero-based UTF-16 half-open range `[start, end)`. */
interface LspRange {
readonly start: LspPosition
readonly end: LspPosition
}
```
## Request
Every field is required: `workspaceRoot` is caller-supplied, `languageId` comes from the provider's registration (not the request), and consumers own timeouts and result limits — so no field needs implementation defaulting and there is no `resolve()` step. The provider receives the caller's request plus the derived `languageId`, which only synchronizes the transient document and never participates in selection.
```ts type-equiv
/**
* A caller's normalized query. Every field is required: `workspaceRoot` is caller-supplied,
* `languageId` comes from the provider registration (not here), and consumers own timeouts and
* result limits — so no field needs implementation defaulting and there is no `resolve()` step.
*/
interface LspQueryRequest {
/** Which semantic query to run. */
readonly operation: LspOperation
/** The source file to query (relative to `workspaceRoot` or absolute; the provider canonicalizes). */
readonly filePath: string
/** The zero-based UTF-16 cursor position to query at. */
readonly position: LspPosition
/** The workspace root the provider resolves against and indexes; required, never defaulted. */
readonly workspaceRoot: string
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/**
* A request as a provider receives it: the caller's {@link LspQueryRequest} plus the `languageId`
* the seam derived from the provider's extension mapping. The language id only synchronizes the
* transient document; it does not participate in selection.
*/
interface LspProviderQuery extends LspQueryRequest {
/** The LSP language id for `filePath`, from this provider's extension mapping. */
readonly languageId: string
}
```
## Result
A CLOSED discriminated union: navigation operations normalize to `locations`, `hover` to content or `null`. Consumers `switch` on `kind` to exhaustiveness so a new arm breaks compilation until handled. `findReferences` always includes declarations — the provider enforces this internally, so callers get no flag. The `locations` variant carries `resolvedWorkspaceUri`, the provider's canonical workspace `file:` URI. A caller relativizing location URIs uses that coordinate rather than applying host-platform path rules to the possibly-symlinked request root.
```ts type-equiv
/** One resolved location: a document URI and the range within it. */
interface LspLocation {
/** The target document URI (`file:` or otherwise), verbatim from the server. */
readonly uri: string
/** The range within the target document. */
readonly range: LspRange
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/** Normalized hover content, or `null` for no hover at the position. */
interface LspHover {
/** The normalized hover text (markdown or plaintext, provider-joined). */
readonly contents: string
/** The range the hover applies to, when the server supplied one. */
readonly range?: LspRange
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/**
* The closed result union. Navigation operations (`goToDefinition`, `findReferences`,
* `goToImplementation`) normalize to `locations`; `hover` normalizes to content or `null`.
* Consumers `switch` on `kind` to exhaustiveness so a new arm breaks compilation until handled.
*
* The `locations` variant carries `resolvedWorkspaceUri`: the provider's canonical `file:` URI for
* the request's workspace root. A caller that relativizes location URIs MUST use this, not parse the
* request's possibly symlinked process path with host-platform rules; the execution platform may
* differ from the caller's.
*/
type LspQueryResult =
| { readonly kind: 'locations'; readonly locations: readonly LspLocation[]; readonly resolvedWorkspaceUri: string }
| { readonly kind: 'hover'; readonly hover: LspHover | null }
```
## Provider and service
A provider owns a stable branded `id` and an exclusive lowercase leading-dot extension map. `registerProvider` reserves the id and every extension atomically — an invalid or conflicting registration publishes nothing — and its disposer releases all reservations. Selection is per query and order-independent; no match throws `LspError` `LSP_UNAVAILABLE`. The seam exposes no protocol types, process/document controls, or generic JSON-RPC escape hatch.
```ts type-equiv
/**
* A language-server backend registered on `ctx.lsp`. Each provider owns a stable {@link
* LspProviderId} and an extension-to-language-id map (lowercase, leading-dot keys).
* `findReferences` always includes declarations — the provider enforces this internally; callers
* get no flag.
*/
interface LspProvider {
/** Stable provider identity, reserved atomically with the extension mappings. */
readonly id: LspProviderId
/** Lowercase leading-dot extension → LSP language id (e.g. `{ '.ts': 'typescript' }`). */
readonly extensionToLanguage: Readonly<Record<string, string>>
/**
* Run one query. The seam has already selected this provider and derived `languageId`.
* @param request - the resolved provider query (caller request + derived language id).
* @param signal - optional cancellation; the provider stops its own work when it aborts.
* @returns the normalized, closed-union result.
*/
query(request: LspProviderQuery, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<LspQueryResult>
}
```
```ts type-equiv
/**
* The LSP capability seam (`ctx.lsp`). Owns provider registration/selection and normalized query
* execution; exposes exactly the four operations and no protocol escape hatch.
*/
interface LspService {
/**
* Register a provider, atomically reserving its id and every normalized extension. Any conflict
* or invalid input publishes nothing and throws `LspError`; the returned disposer releases all
* reservations. Disposed with the calling fiber.
* @param provider - the backend to register.
* @returns a synchronous disposer releasing the id and all extension reservations.
*/
registerProvider(provider: LspProvider): () => void
/**
* Select a provider by the file's extension and run one query. Selection is per-query and
* order-independent; no match throws `LspError` `LSP_UNAVAILABLE`.
* @param request - the normalized query.
* @param signal - optional cancellation forwarded to the selected provider.
* @returns the normalized, closed-union result.
*/
query(request: LspQueryRequest, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<LspQueryResult>
}
```
`LspProviderId` is the seam's branded id (`Branded<'LspProviderId'>` from [dsh-brand](../../packages/util/brand)); `LspError` extends `HarnessError` with stable codes such as `LSP_INVALID_PROVIDER`, `LSP_CONFLICT`, `LSP_UNAVAILABLE`, `LSP_DISPOSED`, `LSP_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION`, and `LSP_MALFORMED_RESPONSE`, which callers route on instead of parsing `message`.
