Research direction

Start with tests/multilspy/test_multilspy_java.py around line 46 and compare its reference request behavior on Windows and Linux. Read the linked JDT.LS report and PR comment for the failing scenario; done means the request returns references for the selected symbol on Windows without regressing Linux behavior.
