Could you build this?
Partial An LSP server requires precise AST generation, incremental parsing, and handling complex bash/zsh POSIX quirks, which requires substantial parsing domain knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires building an LSP daemon (JSON-RPC protocol over stdio) integrated with tree-sitter grammars (tree-sitter-bash) or custom lexical analyzers for shell dialects. The difficult aspects are incremental symbol resolution, handling macro/eval expansion safely, and dialect divergence between bash, dash, and zsh.
