Description Starting with Swift 6.4, a new parameter has been added to the initialization request: reportSyntacticHighlightInSemanticTokens. This new parameter is not part of the official lsp specification, and is placed in the initializationOptions section of the initialization request (user provided initialization options). When the reportSyntacticHighlightInSemanticTokens is false (the default), sourcekit-lsp does not include syntactic highlight in its response to the textDocument/semanticTokens/full request. It is assumed that the client already has its own syntactic highlighting, and sourcekit-lsp should only augment it with semantic tokens. The official lsp specification already has similar parameter: augmentsSyntaxTokens in semanic tokens client capabilities section. This parameter is currently not used by sourcekit-lsp. See these parameters placement in the params of the initialization request (note that when one parameter is true, the other is false for the same effect): {

Currently, many of the code actions in SwiftLanguageService/CodeActions directly conform to SyntaxCodeActionProvider. For those for which it makes sense, I think we could avoid some boilerplate (and add some more structure) by making the code action conform to SyntaxRefactoringCodeActionProvider as well as SyntaxRefactoringCodeActionProvider, removing the explicit implementation of codeActions(in:) and instead rely on the synthesized version. As this is a learning-oriented task, please don’t address this purely by using an AI tool, as described in https://github.com/swiftlang/project-operations/blob/main/contributing/ai-tools.md#learning-oriented-contributions.
