What glue code?  M-x add-dir-local-variable (or M-x add-project-local-variable
which is a just a very thing shim on top of the other), then select
eglot-workspace-configuration, then edit the value and you're done.

Not a hack, really.  eglot-show-workspace-configuration shows the actual
configuration in JSON format.  That's useful and LSP specific, so it
belongs in Eglot. Fredrik Bergroth added it because that is what is
sent to the server and is really good for debug purposes and
communicating with server devs, for example.  So it's not subsumed
by C-h v, for example.
