Research direction
The issue requests adding sourcekit lsp, a Swift language server, to the mason.nvim package registry. To implement, examine existing package definitions in the mason.nvim repository (e.g., under lua/mason registry/ or similar) to understand the format. Then, create a new definition for sourcekit lsp, specifying the correct download URL and installation steps. The GitHub URL provided (https://github.com/swiftlang/sourcekit lsp) should be used. Ensure to verify the distribution method (likely via GitHub releases). No linked PRs or assignees exist, so this is available for a first time contributor.
