Expected Behaviour

Server should start correctly.

Actual Behaviour

Hi, after this commit 40fd1d7 lua-language-server fails to start in helix-editor and directly exit with error.
Here is the discussion helix-editor/helix#11472 for more info and this comment specifically explain why that is.
Can someone elaborate on why it is needed, or is it feasible to make it valid JSONRPC?
Thank you!

Reproduction steps

Just open any lua file with helix and latest lua-language-server installed,

Additional Notes

Thank you very much for helping improve the language server!

Strange enough, the description of #2798 has mentioned it will close this issue, but github doesn't automatically link the two? 😳
