refactor(lsp): cache analysis results and debounce diagnostics

This change adds cached and incremental analysis for the LSP
server to improve responsiveness. The client now debounces
diagnostic updates to avoid excessive recomputation. The
server introduces per-document line caches and various
caches for completions, inlay hints, and metadata to
support faster, incremental updates.

- Debounce diagnostics on text changes to reduce noise.
- Add caches for completions, inlay hints, and metadata.
- Introduce incremental analysis with per-document line caches.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- Prevent truncated TCL inlay hints and add configurable parameter hint modes
+- Add inlay hints for built-in NX procedures, variadic arguments, and visible ranges
+- Add inlay hint documentation and navigation to custom procedure definitions
 - Add signature help for custom TCL procedures and built-in NX/MOM procedures
 - Clean stale TCL indexes on close, delete, and rename operations
 - Make background parsing and index updates thread-safe
+- Improve TCL response times with debounced edits and cached semantic, inlay, hover, completion, and variable indexes
+- Debounce CDL/DEF diagnostics and remove per-line diagnostic logging

@@ -31,6 +31,12 @@ The extension can be configured through VS Code settings:
 - `nx-post-support.interpreter` - Specify custom Python interpreter path for the language server
 - `nx-post-support.formatter` - Enable/disable the TCL formatter (default: false)
 - `nx-post-support.inlayHint` - Enable/disable inlay Hints (default: true)
+- `nx-post-support.inlayHints.parameterNames` - Show parameter names for `all`, only `literals`, or `none` (default: `all`)
+- `nx-post-support.inlayHints.suppressWhenArgumentMatchesName` - Hide redundant hints such as `value:` before `$value` (default: true)
+
+TCL files default to unlimited inlay hint length so that VS Code does not
+truncate later parameter names on a line. An explicit user setting for
+`editor.inlayHints.maximumLength` still takes precedence.
