Description

efm-langserver could be a pretty handy tool for unifying project linting and formatting across developer machines and editors/IDEs. What prevents this from working easily is an option for project-local configuration files, where the project conventions can easily be enforced. Therefore, adding something like ${workspace_root}/.efm-config.yaml to the configuration cascade would be pretty handy. Otherwise, every developer has to explicitly instruct its IDE to launch with the project-local configuration file, which is more work and can be easily missed.

Research direction

Start by tracing efm-langserver’s existing configuration cascade and how it determines the workspace root. Define the expected precedence for a project-local .efm-config.yaml and add coverage showing that it is discovered; done means a workspace can use the file without IDE-specific launch arguments.
