Description

This is due to these types being hidden by the PSES ALC. Instead they should be exported by the PSES.Hosting DLL and part of the outer PSES module, with an internal integration API.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Extensions types are exposed through the PSES ALC and how the Integrated Console consumes them. Compare the PSES.Hosting DLL, the outer PSES module, and the proposed internal integration API; the work is done when those types are available in the Integrated Console through the intended export boundary.
