removed unused robustness.

The wheel channel was installed without [lsp], so 'testium lsp' reported pygls
missing. Install testium[lsp] in the wheel venv — validating the wheel's
language-server-capable form, like the AppImage installs ...whl[lsp].

+Language server (editor support)
+--------------------------------
+
+*testium* ships a `Language Server Protocol
+<https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/>`_ server so that
+``.tum`` files get editor assistance — completion of test item types, hover
+documentation of their parameters, and an outline view — in any LSP-capable
+editor.
+
+The server speaks LSP over standard input/output and is started with:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+    :caption: start the language server
+
+    testium lsp
+
+It is not meant to be launched directly by the user: an editor's LSP client
+spawns it and drives the exchange. A VSCode / VSCodium client extension,
+*testium_assist*, is provided for that purpose; any other LSP client (Neovim,
+Emacs ``lsp-mode``, …) can be pointed at ``testium lsp`` as well.
+
+The information the server exposes is the test item schema, which can also be
+dumped as JSON for inspection or tooling:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+    :caption: dump the item / parameter schema
+
+    testium schema
+
+Because the schema is built from *testium* itself, every new item type or
+parameter becomes available in the editor on the next *testium* upgrade, with
+no change to the client.
+
+The language server is included in the pre-built binary, Flatpak and AppImage
+releases. For a source or wheel installation, pull the optional ``lsp``
+dependencies:
