Because it is installed from npm(https://www.npmjs.com/package/bash-language-server). You can switch npm versions with @xxx(https://www.npmjs.com/package/bash-language-server?activeTab=versions).

If you want to build from source on the main branch, you'll have to build it yourself.

If I build a npm package from source, how to install it via Mason?

I think it would be better to release a new version via npm, but this way you can create the package manually.
