LSP ToolsArea: what it touches
In DevelopmentKind: in v2.1.224,
In DevelopmentSection of the release
A strict per-operation LSP schema exists alongside the flat one with no selector between them.
What
A new schema for the language-server tool splits it into a separate strict object per operation (goToDefinition, findReferences, hover, documentSymbol, workspaceSymbol, goToImplementation, prepareCallHierarchy, incomingCalls, outgoingCalls), each with its own field descriptions, so arguments are validated per operation instead of against one flat shape. The old flat schema is still in the build and nothing in this group decides which one the tool presents.
Details
The workspaceSymbol variant drops the "(workspaceSymbol only)" qualifier from its query description, since the field now exists only there.
Evidence
The symbol name or partial name to search for. Most language servers return no results for an empty query.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
