The language server answers questions about an mz-deploy project's object graph. Use the LSP tool for these instead of text search — grep finds strings that look like an object name, the language server finds the object.

Before changing an object, use these to find what depends on it. In Materialize a view's definition constrains everything downstream of it, so an edit that type-checks in isolation can still break dependents.

Parse errors surface automatically after each edit. Treat them as authoritative for syntax; they come from the same parser uses to build the project.

must be on (). If every navigation request comes back empty while the server looks healthy, the plugin's mz-deploy project directory setting is pointing somewhere other than the directory holding . The server takes that directory as its project root, and a project nested in a subdirectory needs the setting to name that subdirectory. Report this rather than falling back to grep — a stale setting is worth fixing once.
