Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the standard type hover in NeoVim on Windows and compare it with the VS Code result, including the misc.parameters: ["--locale=en-us"] setting; done means the hover is brief, English, and does not duplicate or show undefined globals.
