Description

I've noticed that often some variables dont give autocomplete options.
This is usually resolved by hovering over the variable for the lang server to resolve its type, after which it then will give autocomplete options

Research direction

Start by reproducing the autocomplete behavior in the Kotlin language server, comparing suggestions before and after hovering over a variable. Trace how type resolution is triggered and verify that autocomplete provides the expected options without requiring hover; the issue names no files or tests.
