Description

In the absence of bsconfig.json files, the language server will explore all the folders for manifest files.

This is unsafe as the extension may be active while editing non-Roku projects which may also include manifest files.

The discovery mechanism should validate that the manifests "look like" Roku manifests (e.g. "ini" files with maybe a title= entry)

See #1518 where a TODO is added

Research direction

Start with the manifest-discovery TODO added in #1518 and trace the language server's auto-discovery mechanism. Add or update tests for distinguishing Roku-like manifests from unrelated manifest files; done means non-Roku projects are not activated while valid Roku manifests remain discoverable.
