All of our IDE UI is based on scopes rather than filenames.

The two options would be:

1. Handle it cleanly in the language server and just return null (preferred)
2. Intercept things by overriding autolanguageclient behavior
3. Possibly adding file-specific grammar for manifest.yml

Is there any reason the language server can't just return null for things it doesn't understand? (Item 1)

It would potentially be possible for us to provide an additional file matching filter in autolanguageclient that every single provider gets routed through but that does make things a bit messier everywhere.

The server returns empty contents. Think shouldn't be a problem to return null either. My concern was that the server receives the message it shouldn't. This is not a blocking issue for my server at all. Just a minor thing I've noticed.

Let's go with that for now - if it starts being a perf/maintenance problem we'll put an extra method in that package authors can override with path specific filtering.
