Research direction
Examine existing package definitions in the mason.nvim repository (likely under lua/mason/packages/) to understand the structure. Then create a new definition file for cabal fmt using details from the package homepage and distribution methods (cabal install, Homebrew, nixpkgs, AUR). No blockers or linked PRs exist, so the issue is available for contribution.
