ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* bash-language-server is available in system shell

The following tweaks did not work:
* Add Node.js binary directory (~/.nvm/versions/node/v24.8.0/bin/) to PATH
through Kate settings or through Flatseal (same error)
* snap install bash-language-server --classic instead of install via nvm
(error: server shut down unexpectedly, immediately after start)
