What's Wrong?

Disclaimer: I'm filling this bug report on behalf of Claude Code, I first asked if could possibly be a bug with the lang server that I use slang-server and it honestly said no, and provided a potential fix too.

---
Conclusion: this is a Claude Code client bug, not a Slang bug. Slang is probably spec-compliant. The report should go to the Claude Code team, not the Slang developer. The fix is to guard against missing range:

// before:
f.location.range.start

// after:
f.location.range?.start

---
The operation crashes before returning any results, making workspace-wide symbol search completely unusable. The client code unconditionally accesses f.location.range.start but LSP 3.17 allows WorkspaceSymbol.location to omit range (partial location, resolved lazily via workspaceSymbol/resolve). When a compliant server returns the partial form, the access throws undefined is not an object (evaluating 'f.location.range.start').

What Should Happen?

workspaceSymbol should return a list of matching symbols with their file locations, allowing navigation to any symbol definition across the workspace without reading files manually.

Error Messages/Logs

Error performing workspaceSymbol: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'f.location.range.start')

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a project with a Slang language server configured
2. Call the workspaceSymbol LSP operation on any file

This is the LSP config of my plugin:

{
  "systemverilog": {
    "command": "slang-server",
    "args": [],
    "extensionToLanguage": {
      ".sv": "systemverilog",
      ".svh": "systemverilog",
      ".v": "verilog",
      ".vh": "verilog"
    }
  }
}
