Research direction

Start by inspecting how xolox/vim-lua-inspect is integrated into the Vim Bootstrap configuration and verify the failure with Vim compiled against Lua 5.2 or newer. Check the upstream plugin status, then determine whether an upstream fix is viable or whether the issue requires evaluating a Language Server Protocol-based replacement. Done means Lua inspection works with supported Lua versions or the replacement path is clearly defined.

Description

package.seeall was apparently removed in lua5.2. This breaks xolox/vim-lua-inspect. Need upstream to fix the package (last commit was 11 years ago). Or move to a different way of inspecting Lua files like LSP (Language Server Protocol).
