Description

Context

Currently, it is a little bit a pain in the ass to develop complex rule using LKQL, without syntax highlight.

Solution

It could be nice to have a LKQL (LangKit Query Language) syntax highlight (and maybe auto-completion) into VSCode (into Ada extension or in a separate extension). it could have it's own LSP.

Research direction

No files or tests are mentioned. Start by inspecting how the VSCode Ada extension is structured and how LKQL is represented in the repository; define the scope between syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and a separate LSP. Done means LKQL syntax highlighting is available in VSCode, with any additional features explicitly scoped.
