Apple's clangd (/usr/bin/clangd, Xcode and CommandLineTools toolchains) is built without clang-tidy, so on a Mac without a managed clangd the checks from .clang-tidy never appear. When a clangd server for C, C++, Objective-C or Objective-C++ resolves to Apple's binary and the project has a .clang-tidy, show one warning per session with Install (managed LLVM clangd, which already takes precedence once installed) and Language Servers… actions. Fixes#692.
Reformat Code only asked the language server for formatting, so files whose server has no formatting capability (Markdown with marksman, and others depending on the server) could not be formatted.
Languages can now declare an external formatter. Prettier is the first: a managed tool installed on demand, or the project's own node_modules/prettier, an explicit path, or PATH. It runs on the backend copy of the document with the file's path so Prettier resolves the project's config, overrides and ignore files, and its result is applied as one undoable edit. Language servers that format a file keep doing so unless Prettier is preferred in Settings › Languages › Prettier; formatting on save is opt-in. Parsers without range support format the whole file and say so.
Errors carry structured tool data, so a missing Prettier reuses the shared install prompt and Prettier diagnostics or timeouts show as non-sticky notifications.
Fixes#639
Language servers can be configured from settings.toml (global or project) and Settings › Language Servers: arguments, environment, initialization options and workspace settings per server, enable/disable, and any stdio LSP server can be added for a language. Settings-only changes are pushed with workspace/didChangeConfiguration; launch changes restart the server.
Also: re-enabling a server now detaches and stops the fallback that stood in for it, and a server added from the dialog is written as its own [languageServers.<name>] table.

Root cause: the IDE only detected installed JDKs and had no way to get one, so any launch needing a newer JDK than the machine has (latest jdtls needs JDK 25) dead-ended in an error.
Fix: IDEA-style Download JDK (Eclipse Temurin via the Adoptium API, sha256-verified, reusing ide-tools' download/verify code; Windows zip, Linux tar.gz, macOS Contents/Home) into <app-data>/tools/jdks, registered with JDK discovery and rescanned after each download. "Download JDK…" in the Project SDK and Language Server JDK pickers; a one-click `java.downloadJdk` "Download JDK N" on "needs JDK N" errors, which also repoints a too-old language server JDK and restarts jdtls.
Siblings: language server status popup, jdtls launch notification, run console classpath error, debug launch, run configurations without a JDK ≥ the module's Java version, Maven/Gradle sync failures, single-file Java run without `java` on PATH.
Verified in the app on macOS: vendor/version/location queries, the Download JDK dialog from the Language Server JDK picker, a real Temurin 25.0.5 download that runs. Not verified on Windows/Linux.

* fix(lsp): Run jdtls on a JDK 21+ and offer Install in the server popup
jdtls refuses to start on Java < 21, and its launcher took whatever
JAVA_HOME / PATH pointed at, so it crash-looped with a Python traceback
when that was an older JDK (#1). Pick the first detected JDK 21+ and pass
it via JAVA_HOME; projects still compile against their own runtimes.
When none is found, report a clear message instead of launching, and
rescan on restart so a newly installed JDK is picked up. JDK detection
now also covers the java on PATH and Windows vendor directories.
The Language Servers status popup showed the manual install hint for
missing servers; it now has an Install button that runs tools.install,
which opens the Language Servers settings page for tools the IDE cannot
install itself.
Fixes#1

* fix(lsp): Address review of the jdtls runtime check
- Cache the JDK scan and rescan at most every 10s while no JDK 21+ is
found, refreshing the shared list instead of discarding it; skip
duplicate Windows Program Files roots.
- Check `launch_error` in the manager (inside the blocking launch task)
rather than in ProcessLauncher, and skip such servers in batch
inspection.
- Keep the install hint visible next to the Install button; when the tool
list failed to load, try the install so the error is reported.
- Don't let a server snapshot requested before a status event overwrite
that newer status (left jdtls showing "Starting…" while missing).
