     → `src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts` (`#test-utils/…`) is the helper; the suite asserts its labels (see development/testing.md § Autocomplete)
     → wire it into `node --test` so a test asserts the offered labels
     → note: `Parameters<typeof factory>[0]` resolves only the *last* overload; use `@ts-expect-error` call sites for factory negatives, not `not.toExtend<Parameters<…>>`

+    ☐ Rewrite `src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts` onto `createMessageConnection` and typed requests
+    ☐ Update `development/testing.md § Autocomplete` for the new client
