Description

It would be nice to see diagrams for most interactions, starting with client server handshake. The "initialize" call is missing from the overview diagram and is only documented somewhere later in text.

Research direction
Review the existing overview diagram in the LSP specification source (likely in the `specification` directory or similar). Identify where the 'initialize' call is documented in the text and create a corresponding diagram to include in the overview. Check for any existing diagram conventions (e.g., using Mermaid or PlantUML).
