Research direction
Start by reproducing the delayed Chinese input behavior in VSCodeVim's insert mode using the GIF as the expected symptom. Trace the insert-mode input and repaint handling; no source file or test is named in the issue. Done means Chinese text appears without being repainted character by character, with a regression test if the existing test structure supports it.
