Description

XQuery is the only reason we still keep another editor in the application. It is a bit of a niche language but it would be great to have it. We have defined a syntax with Monarch but implementing and integrating a validator seems a lot more difficult to achieve.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing language integrations in the Monaco editor repository, particularly how validation is implemented (e.g., for TypeScript, CSS, etc.) and replicate that pattern for XQuery. Use the existing Monarch syntax as a starting point.
