Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with "cpp-devtools.enableCppCodeEditingTools": true while a user-invoked Find All References and a Copilot-invoked request overlap. Trace how concurrent Find All References requests are cancelled or queued, and verify that the second invoker waits for the first result so both receive the completed references instead of 0 results.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
With the C/C++ DevTools extension installed with "cpp-devtools.enableCppCodeEditingTools": true, a user-invoked Find All References will get cancelled and give 0 results if Copilot happens to invoke Find All References while the user-invoked operation is in progress.
Similarly, a user-invoked Find All References can confuse Copilot into believing there are 0 references if it is waiting for results from the Find All References tool.
A different invoker of FAR should have their request wait for the 1st requester's resut to finish instead of cancelling the 1st requestor's operation.
