## Summary
This PR adds documentation for the Ruff language server.
It mainly does the following:
1. Combines various READMEs containing instructions for different editor
setup in their respective section on the online docs
2. Provide an enumerated list of server settings. Additionally, it also
provides a section for VS Code specific options.
3. Adds a "Features" section which enumerates all the current
capabilities of the native server
For (2), the settings documentation is done manually but a future
improvement (easier after `ruff-lsp` is deprecated) is to move the docs
in to Rust struct and generate the documentation from the code itself.
And, the VS Code extension specific options can be generated by diffing
against the `package.json` in `ruff-vscode` repository.
### Structure
1. Setup: This section contains the configuration for setting up the
language server for different editors
2. Features: This section contains a list of capabilities provided by
the server along with short GIF to showcase it
3. Settings: This section contains an enumerated list of settings in a
similar format to the one for the linter / formatter
4. Migrating from `ruff-lsp`
> [!NOTE]
>
> The settings page is manually written but could possibly be
auto-generated via a macro similar to `OptionsMetadata` on the
`ClientSettings` struct
resolves: #11217
## Test Plan
Generate and open the documentation locally using:
1. `python scripts/generate_mkdocs.py`
2. `mkdocs serve -f mkdocs.insiders.yml`
## Summary
In the [roadmap for `ruff
server`](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/10581) support
for vim and kate is listed. Therefore I added setup guides for them
based on the neovim guide. As I don't use pyright I wasn't able to
translate the corresponding part from the neovim guide.
## Test Plan
Doesn't apply.
## Summary
A setup guide has been written for NeoVim under a new
`crates/ruff_server/docs/setup` folder, where future setup guides will
also go. This setup guide was adapted from the [`ruff-lsp`
guide](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-lsp?tab=readme-ov-file#example-neovim).

## Summary
This PR adds an overview and roadmap to the `README.md` for the
`ruff_server` crate along with a rudimentary `CONTRIBUTING.md` that
explains some of the technical decisions behind the project and basic
information about local testing.

## Summary
This PR introduces the `ruff_server` crate and a new `ruff server`
command. `ruff_server` is a re-implementation of
[`ruff-lsp`](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-lsp), written entirely in
Rust. It brings significant performance improvements, much tighter
integration with Ruff, a foundation for supporting entirely new language
server features, and more!
This PR is an early version of `ruff_lsp` that we're calling the
**pre-release** version. Anyone is more than welcome to use it and
submit bug reports for any issues they encounter - we'll have some
documentation on how to set it up with a few common editors, and we'll
also provide a pre-release VSCode extension for those interested.
This pre-release version supports:
- **Diagnostics for `.py` files**
- **Quick fixes**
- **Full-file formatting**
- **Range formatting**
- **Multiple workspace folders**
- **Automatic linter/formatter configuration** - taken from any
`pyproject.toml` files in the workspace.
Many thanks to @MichaReiser for his [proof-of-concept
work](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/7262), which was important
groundwork for making this PR possible.
## Architectural Decisions
I've made an executive choice to go with `lsp-server` as a base
framework for the LSP, in favor of `tower-lsp`. There were several
reasons for this:
1. I would like to avoid `async` in our implementation. LSPs are mostly
computationally bound rather than I/O bound, and `async` adds a lot of
complexity to the API, while also making harder to reason about
execution order. This leads into the second reason, which is...
2. Any handlers that mutate state should be blocking and run in the
event loop, and the state should be lock-free. This is the approach that
`rust-analyzer` uses (also with the `lsp-server`/`lsp-types` crates as a
framework), and it gives us assurances about data mutation and execution
order. `tower-lsp` doesn't support this, which has caused some
[issues](https://github.com/ebkalderon/tower-lsp/issues/284) around data
races and out-of-order handler execution.
3. In general, I think it makes sense to have tight control over
scheduling and the specifics of our implementation, in exchange for a
slightly higher up-front cost of writing it ourselves. We'll be able to
fine-tune it to our needs and support future LSP features without
depending on an upstream maintainer.
## Test Plan
The pre-release of `ruff_server` will have snapshot tests for common
document editing scenarios. An expanded test suite is on the roadmap for
future version of `ruff_server`.
