LSP plugin install prompt accepted but plugin not installed/active (gopls-lsp, rust-analyzer-lsp)

  • Accepted the "LSP plugin recommendation" prompt for gopls-lsp — it re-prompted a second time in a later session despite prior acceptance, and no LSP functionality (go-to-definition, diagnostics) appeared after accepting either time.
  • gopls itself is already installed and on PATH (~/.go/bin/gopls, v0.18.1), so this looks like a Claude Code plugin-registration bug, not a missing binary.
  • Same "accept prompt → nothing happens, re-prompts later" pattern occurs with the Rust LSP plugin (rust-analyzer-lsp).
  • For Rust, rust-analyzer is not installed on this machine (rustup reports error: unknown binary 'rust-analyzer' in toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu') — so in that case the plugin may need to actually install/provision the language server itself rather than assuming it's present, which could be a second distinct failure mode worth checking.
  • Expected: accepting the prompt results in a working LSP integration for that language.
  • Actual: no visible effect either time; prompt reappears in later sessions.
