Documented steps
Create an LSP server bound to a project path: Python `sandbox.create_lsp_server(language_id=LspLanguageId.PYTHON, path_to_project='workspace/project')`; TypeScript `await sandbox.createLspServer(LspLanguageId.TYPESCRIPT, 'workspace/project')`.
Start the server with `lsp.start()` before any other LSP call — nothing else works until it is initialized.
Open each file you intend to query with `lsp_server.did_open('workspace/project/main.py')`.
Request completions with `lsp_server.completions(path='workspace/project/main.py', position={'line': 10, 'character': 15})`; positions are zero-based.
List symbols in a single file with `lsp_server.document_symbols('workspace/project/main.py')`.
Search symbols across the sandbox with `lsp_server.sandbox_symbols('MyClass')` when you need to locate a definition you cannot name a file for.
Close files with `lsp_server.did_close(path)` when finished so the server can release resources.
Stop the server with `lsp.stop()` at the end of the session. Supported language ids include Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Ruby, Go and Java, plus custom languages when the language server is installed in the sandbox. Official docs: https://www.daytona.io/docs/en/language-server-protocol
Known gotchas
`lsp.start()` is mandatory — `did_open`, `completions`, `document_symbols` and `sandbox_symbols` all fail or return nothing if the server was never started.
A file must be opened with `did_open` before per-file features work on it; querying an unopened path returns empty results rather than an error.
LSP positions are zero-based, so line 1 of a file is `line: 0` — off-by-one here silently returns the wrong completions.
Custom languages require the corresponding language server to already be installed inside the sandbox image or snapshot.
Skipping `did_close`/`lsp.stop()` leaks server resources inside the sandbox for the remainder of its life.
