Research direction

Start by locating the request-handling code for the VSCode language-server messages named in the issue: cancelRequest and initialize. Determine how miscellaneous requests currently produce warnings, then verify that both requests are handled without those warnings and that cancellation improves performance as intended.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Area-Language Server Issue-Bug

We are getting Warnings thrown for not handling misc Requests that, it would seem, VSCode itself sends. We should handle these Requests.

So far we've seen:
cancelRequest
initialize

The cancelRequest one would be good for perf for sure.
