+### Stage 2 — multi-root LSP server affinity (Q#LN15)
+
+- Portable branch: `githubsucks/lsp-multi-root-affinity`, shared checkout,
+  based on `githubsucks/main` @ `0827dd1`. Named for the substrate, not
+  for Lean: **the diff contains no Lean content**, because `ensure_server`
+  is the one server-affinity function every LSP language shares and a
+  cross-cutting change to it must not be reviewable only as a Lean
+  feature.
+- Three files, no protocol change: `src/lua_bindings/mod.rs` (the
+  `lsp.list()` row builder gains `root_uri` + `cwd`),
+  `builtin/runtime/lsp.lua` (`project_root_for` returns `root, source`;
+  `ensure_server` hoists it above the reuse loop and matches on it),
+  `tests/lsp_multi_root_acceptance.rs` (9 tests, acceptance 13–21).
+- **The rule that keeps this from regressing every other language: the
+  affinity key is the root only when a root was actually FOUND.**
+  `project_root_for` never returns nil for a file with a path — its last
+  resort is the file's own directory — so a naive `(language_id, root)`
+  key gives every directory of loose scratch files its own server, for
+  every language. `source` is `"config" | "detected" | "fallback"` and
+  only the first two become a key.
+- **Wire-identical for the fallback case, and that is provable rather
+  than hoped.** Matching is on the spawned spec's `root_uri` (nil matching
+  nil), so the fallback spawn passes `root_uri = nil`; `cwd` still carries
+  the directory and `build_initialize` derives the identical `rootUri`
+  from `cwd` when the field is None, using a percent-encoder with the same
+  allowed set as Lua's `file_uri_for`. `build_initialize` (`src/lsp.rs`)
+  is the **only** reader of `spec.root_uri` in the tree.
+- Deliberate behavior change, asserted not discovered: a server
+  hand-spawned from `init.lua` with only `cwd` set also reads back nil, so
+  a root-bearing attach will not adopt it.
+- `config[language].root` may now be a `function(path) -> string|nil`,
+  memoized per directory — needed because the hoist puts root resolution
+  on every attach rather than every spawn. The memo is keyed **weakly by
+  the resolver function itself**, so replacing `config[lang].root` cannot
+  serve a root the previous resolver computed. This is Q#LN8's
+  generalization landing early; the Lean resolver that uses it is Stage 3.
+- Bite-verified three ways: 5/9 fail against the pre-change `lsp.lua`,
+  8/9 against the pre-change `mod.rs`, and — the one that matters most —
+  installing the naive always-key-on-root variant fails acceptance 20 and
+  21 exactly as Q#LN15 part 2 predicts. The four that survive the first
+  bite (13, 15, 16, 19) are the regression pins; passing on both sides is
+  their job.
+- Every fixture sets `pmacs.project.set_search_boundary` at its own
+  tempdir root. Without it the marker walk climbs to the filesystem root
+  and a stray `.git` above the temp directory turns the markerless cases
+  into detected ones — the assertions would still pass while testing
+  nothing.
+- **Found but not fixed here (pre-existing, own lane):** `ensure_server`
+  never forwards `cfg.restart` to `pmacs.lsp.spawn`, so a
+  `restart = "never"` in `pmacs.lsp.config[lang]` is silently dropped on
+  the auto-attach path. At least one existing test sets it believing it
+  takes effect. Out of scope for a PR whose acceptance 16 pins existing
+  attach behavior as unchanged.
