Christoph 81fe58e023 docs: document DEF block templates, addresses, and formatting changes
Update the README and CHANGELOG to describe newly documented language-server behaviors and editor UX details.

- Read BLOCK_TEMPLATE and ADDRESS names from .def files listed under <DefinedEvents> in PSC layers and refresh on PSC/DEF changes; completion suggestions for MOM_do_template, MOM_ask_address_value, MOM_force, and MOM_suppress
- Insert quoted block templates/addresses and Always|Once|Off modes (replace auto-closed/typed quotes instead of doubling) and insert variables with a leading `$`
- Add BLOCK_LIST and ADDR_LIST completion keywords to list all loaded block templates or addresses
- Document formatting/linting of uplevel bodies as Tcl and normalization of comment spacing (#Comment → # Comment) while preserving ##, #!, and already spaced comments
- Note that the Python debug bootstrap now stops with a clear error instead of hanging when no debugpy listener or only a stale one is available

These changes are reflected under "Unreleased" in the changelog and in the README section about DEF block templates and addresses.

Unreleased

  • Read BLOCK_TEMPLATE and ADDRESS names from the .def files listed under <DefinedEvents> in PSC layers and refresh them when PSC or DEF files change
  • Suggest block templates for MOM_do_template and addresses for MOM_ask_address_value, MOM_force, and MOM_suppress, each followed by variables
  • Suggest Always, Once, and Off for the first argument of MOM_force and MOM_suppress
  • Insert block templates, addresses, and modes in quotes without doubling typed or auto-closed quotes; insert variables with a leading $
  • Add BLOCK_LIST and ADDR_LIST completion keywords that list all loaded block templates or addresses
  • Format and lint uplevel bodies as Tcl scripts
  • Format comments with a space after # (#Comment becomes # Comment); ## separators, #!, and already spaced comments stay unchanged
  • Stop the Python debug bootstrap with a clear error instead of hanging when no debugpy listener or only a stale one is available
  • Reparse only the top-level TCL commands touched by an edit instead of the whole file
  • Cache the workspace index in the extension storage so restarts skip reparsing unchanged files; the cache is discarded automatically when the server or bundled tclint changes
  • Speed up TclOO completion, signature help, inlay hints, and Go to Definition by reusing the cached syntax tree and skipping files without classes
  • Speed up references, document highlights, and call hierarchy with cached definition lookups
  • Keep background indexing from blocking requests that need a fresh syntax tree
  • Add Go to Definition for TclOO classes, constructors, and resolved methods, including PSC library definitions
  • Index PSC layer scripts (including external paths and legacy Windows encoding) and share TclOO class metadata across files for completion, signatures, inlay hints, and highlighting
  • Add document-local TclOO method completion for new/create instances, my, and statically inferred return chains
  • Suggest TclOO class names as classes and semantically highlight their declarations and calls
  • Show signature help and parameter inlay hints for resolved TclOO methods and constructors, including optional and variadic arguments
  • Add incoming and outgoing call hierarchy for custom TCL procedures and MOM event handlers
  • Add document highlights for procedure and variable occurrences
  • Make completion context-aware and prioritize local, current-file, workspace, and built-in symbols
  • Add command-aware completion for Tcl subcommands, fixed arguments, and valid options
  • Add semantic argument completion for variables, procedures, namespaces, and local file paths
  • Add placeholder-based snippets for common Tcl structures and dict for
  • Integrate the NX Tcl Remote Debugger directly into NX Postprocessor Support
  • Add nx-tcl attach configurations and breakpoint support for TCL and DEF files
  • Support breakpoints, stepping, stack frames, variables, watches, evaluation, logpoints, hit conditions, and Tcl error stops
  • Add generation-safe stack and variable references so delayed VS Code requests cannot address stale NX frames
  • Add command-buffer breakpoint handling for LIB_GE_command_buffer_edit_* source bodies
  • Extend the README with launch configuration, path mapping, and debugger usage
  • 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
