I've noticed that whenever workspace diagnostics happens it happens in one thread. It would be nice to have an option to run diagnostics in multiple threads.

Research direction
Start by locating the workspace diagnostics entry point and tracing how its current single-thread execution is scheduled. The issue names no files, tests, configuration surface, or concurrency requirements, so first clarify those boundaries; done should include a defined option and verified parallel diagnostics behavior without regressions.
