Research direction

Start by reviewing the three listed LSP requests and how Bake targets use the inherits attribute. Investigate the expected UX for type hierarchy navigation and whether it benefits Bake users. Done means documenting the findings and a clear direction on whether and how this support should be pursued.

LSP requests:

  • textDocument/prepareTypeHierarchy
  • typeHierarchy/supertypes
  • typeHierarchy/subtypes
