Research direction
No source file, test, or reproducible code is provided; begin by creating a minimal Lua example comparing named and anonymous callbacks in the VS Code extension. Trace the completion behavior for both cases and add a focused regression test. Done means named callback functions receive the same IntelliSense as the equivalent anonymous function.
