[FEATURE]: Allow configurable timeouts to be set on LSPs #7477
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Some LSPs take longer to initialize. Currently, opencode has a default of 45 seconds, which is generally long enough, but not for all projects.
As an example, projects that have a high number of dependencies that need to be downloaded may take longer than the default timeout. I've seen this as an example with the kotlin-ls LSP.
This is the suggestion to either allow the global timeout to be configured beyond the 45 seconds or allow a specific LSP to be configured to override the default. Alternatively, we could just bump the 45 seconds to a higher value, but I suspect this will be an ongoing problem.
If we decide on the per-server timeout, I think it makes sense to allow an override on a built-in LSP server as well as a custom server.
I started a PR here to see what it might look like, specifically for the first case. #6997
Overriding a specific LSP:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"instructions": ["STYLE_GUIDE.md"],
"provider": {
"opencode": {
"options": {},
},
},
"lsp": {
"kotlin-ls": {
"timeout": 120000
},
},
}
Overriding the default LSP timeout:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"instructions": ["STYLE_GUIDE.md"],
"provider": {
"opencode": {
"options": {},
},
},
"lsp": {
"timeout": 120000
},
}

I am encountering a similar issue with Vue LSP (Volar) timing out due to heavy initialization, which seems related to the hardcoded timeout limits. The situation is exacerbated by a version mismatch in my project (Vue 3.4+ with legacy vue-tsc 0.39), but a configurable timeout would greatly help in diagnosing and mitigating such environment-specific slow starts. +1 for this feature request.
