4292-4292: Consider potential flakiness from fixed sleep duration.

The sleep(Duration::from_millis(300)) calls introduce timing-based synchronisation. Whilst this may work reliably in practice, such fixed delays can cause intermittent failures on slower CI runners or under load.

If these tests become flaky, consider using a more deterministic synchronisation mechanism (e.g., waiting for an acknowledgement or polling for the expected state).

Also applies to: 4439-4439

365-366: Silent error suppression may hinder debugging.

The TODO acknowledges this, but discarding the Result from merge_with_configuration means malformed editor configs fail silently. Consider at least logging the error:

-                // TODO handle error
-                let _ = settings.merge_with_configuration(editor.clone(), workspace_directory);
+                if let Err(e) = settings.merge_with_configuration(editor.clone(), workspace_directory) {
+                    tracing::warn!("Failed to merge editor configuration: {e}");
+                }

Would you like me to open an issue to track proper error handling here?

354-371: Merging on every access may have performance implications.

as_merged_settings() clones Settings and merges the editor config on each call. If multiple option-resolution methods are invoked per request, this work is repeated. Consider caching the merged result if profiling reveals it's a bottleneck — though for an initial implementation, simplicity is reasonable.

Based on my comprehensive analysis of the codebase, I can now provide the rewritten review comment:

---

Remove the redundant RwLock wrapper around an immutable reference.

The inner field wraps &'a Settings in a RwLock, but the reference is immutable and only ever read from via .read().unwrap(). No write locks are ever acquired, and the reference cannot be mutated after construction. The RwLock adds overhead without providing any concurrency benefit and can be replaced with a plain &'a Settings.

All access patterns in the codebase confirm read-only usage:

• AsRef<Settings> impl (line 334–336): calls self.inner.read().unwrap()
• as_merged_settings() method (line 346–349): calls self.inner.read().unwrap()
• Biome struct holds SettingsHandle<'static, Option<Configuration>> and is used in single-threaded contexts

Suggested change: Replace inner: RwLock<&'a Settings> with inner: &'a Settings and remove the .read().unwrap().deref() calls in favor of direct dereferencing.
