The inlay hint positioning in multiline rest parameters is odd.

Considering this function

const setTags = (...tags) => { /* ... */ }

Research direction
Investigate the inlay hint rendering logic in the TypeScript language service, focusing on how hints are positioned for rest parameters. Look at the visual positioning code and adjust the offset for multiline rest parameter hints.
