Research direction
Explore existing quick fix infrastructure in TypeScript compiler (e.g., src/services/codefixes/). Investigate how VS Code or the TypeScript Sublime Plugin implement code actions. The feature requires adding a new code action for unresolved entities, which involves analyzing the error list and suggesting imports or type definitions. Review linked issue #327 for original context.
