Research direction

Reproduce the failure with Julia 1.12.6 on macOS arm64 and Zed 1.1.7, using the Julia binary configuration described in the issue. Start by checking why the “Click to show error” control and LSP logs provide no diagnostic. Done means the Julia language server starts successfully or reports a useful actionable error.
