Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported visual-mode sequence in VSCodeVim using the JavaScript example and the listed command sequence. Trace the normal-mode range handling from that reproduction; done means each line in the selected range receives the requested semicolon, with a regression check for the described behavior.
