Has anyone tried running OpenClaw in Sublime Text? Any known extension clashes?

Hey everyone, I've been experimenting with the OpenClaw language server for a new Python/Go monorepo and decided to try it in Sublime Text. I know the primary targets are VS Code and Neovim, but I really prefer Sublime's lightweight feel for this older machine.

I've got a pretty standard setup on macOS Ventura:
- Sublime Text 4 (Build 4169)
- LSP package with the official LSP-openclaw extension
- Terminus (for integrated terminal)
- GitSavvy

After installing, I'm seeing some weird behavior. The language server starts, but seems to intermittently freeze, especially when I have multiple project folders open. Memory usage also spikes to ~800MB during what should be simple hover tooltip requests. I'm wondering if this is a known conflict with another LSP-based plugin or a specific setting.

My `LSP-openclaw.sublime-settings` is mostly default:

```json
{
"command": [
"openclaw",
"--stdio"
],
"selector": "source.python, source.go",
"initializationOptions": {},
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "${workspace}"
}
}
```

Has anyone else run OpenClaw in Sublime successfully? Did you have to disable other plugins or tweak memory limits? I'm particularly curious if it clashes with Sublime's built-in Python package or if the Terminus integration is causing some file handle issue.
