Description
Lua is able to run scripts in sandbox, but there is currently no way to tell that to LuaLS (that i know).
So my suggestion would be making a annotation in the beginning of the file (---@sandbox), and all global variables inside this file wouldn't be visible to others.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how LuaLS handles file annotations and determines whether globals are visible across files. Done should include a ---@sandbox annotation that limits globals from that file without affecting other files, with tests covering the visibility behavior.
