Auto-installed editor services are created with no permissions

[he3als]

The automatically installed PowerShell Editor Services on macOS have no read and write permissions by default, causing LSP to fail to start.

Language server powershell-es:

Got this too. Until they fix, I ran the following 2 commands which seemed to get me back up and running (make sure you set the paths correctly on your host):

find {...}/Zed/extensions/work/powershell/powershell-es-v4.3.0/ -type f -name '*\.ps*' -exec chmod 755 {} +

find {...}/Zed/extensions/work/powershell/powershell-es-v4.3.0/ -type f ! -name '*\.ps*' ! -perm -u=r,g=r,o=r -exec chmod a+r {} +

This was on macos. The -perm flag on find on Linux is a little different so adjust accordingly.

@MrOwen , that worked for me. Thank you so much!

I've run into this pretty frequently too, reminds me of the bug I hit in PowerShell's own compression cmdlets which forget permissions on macOS/linux. though the main issue on powershell is closed, this one remains open: https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/36

not sure if the installation of these files in this extension is from powershell code or not though.
