```
error is occuring even though the LSP works just fine and has been working for years prior to this with the exact same setup with no problems. Not sure what happened here but this error comes up, I remove it and everything is back working like normal. Only happens in the home dir.

1. Install neovim and luals, open neovim from home path and this error comes up.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows by launching Neovim from C:\Users\waffle with lua-language-server active, then compare the reported workspace behavior with the linked FAQ. Trace how the workspace root is selected for the home directory and verify that the warning no longer appears while language-server functionality remains intact.
