Research direction

Look at the existing LSP definitions in the registry, likely in a JSON or YAML configuration file. Compare with the csharp-ls entry. Understand how to specify the installation command (dotnet tool install) and the required flags (--stdio --autoLoadProjects). Test adding the new entry locally to ensure it works, then propose the change.

Description

Hi,

I noticed that for C#/.NET the csharp-ls LSP is supported but the official roslyn-language-server LSP (on GitHub at dotnet/roslyn, on Nuget as roslyn-language-server) is missing.

Manually running dotnet tool install --global roslyn-language-server --prerelease and then adding roslyn-language-server --stdio --autoLoadProjects as an additional LSP in Nova seems to work fine but I am not a Nova expert and I am very early in my re-testing of Nova so I could be wrong 😅

Is there a reason why Roslyn LSP is not natively included in the registry? Maybe the --prerelease install, maybe the extra --stdio --autoLoadProjects flags required, maybe some blocking bugs?
