Description
### How are you using the lua-language-server?
NeoVim
### Which OS are you using?
Linux
### What is the issue affecting?
Libraries
### Expected Behaviour
I expect my workspace libraries to be added to `.luarc.json`.
### Actual Behaviour
`.luarc.json` is not being created nor modified at all. It also prompts for `luassert` addition to workspace, where I answer 1, yes and modify settings. It does not modifies them.
### Reproduction steps
1. Open a lua file having workspace setting set up.
2. It will look for all workspace.
3. It should write in `.luarc.json` all the content.
### Additional Notes
I tried and 3.6.4 was working, 3.6.5 and so on not. Maybe due to https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/blob/4a9ab5b1ae9889e9732b53ad8cdf3b6db5394c3b/changelog.md?plain=1#L33
This is my config on nvim lspconfig:
```lua
Lua = {
runtime = { version = "LuaJIT" },
diagnostics = { globals = { "vim" } },
workspace = { library = vim.api.nvim_get_runtime_file("", true) },
},
```

Research direction
Reproduce the regression in Neovim using the shown Lua workspace configuration, comparing version 3.6.4 with 3.6.5 and later. Check the referenced changelog.md entry and observe whether .luarc.json is created or updated after workspace libraries and luassert are accepted. Done means the expected workspace settings are written to .luarc.json.
