Research direction

Start by reading the TSServer quickInfo request and the completion response path referenced in the issue. Compare how completion exposes symbol display parts with what quickInfo currently returns. Done means quickInfo exposes equivalent display parts so clients can format the symbol consistently; add or update coverage where the existing request behavior is tested.
