Contributions summary:Emilio primarily contributed to updating the `root_dir` configurations for various Language Server Protocol (LSP) configurations within the `nvim-lspconfig` repository. These updates involved modifying files to specify the correct directory patterns for different language servers like `custom_elements_ls`, `cairo_ls`, `omnisharp`, `gradle_ls`, `gopls`, `tsserver`, `tailwindcss`, `syntax_tree`, `hls`, `vtsls`, and `kotlin_language_server`. Additionally, the user added vusted to `flake.nix` and addressed an issue with how the `util.root_pattern` prioritizes the pattern order.
