Description

As you see, client thinks input text is co, but server knows the really input text is core.co.
So I hope the server can specify input text in the response of Completion Request.

Research direction
Start with the Completion Request and CompletionItem response definitions in the language server protocol specification, using the screenshot and issue description as the behavioral context. Determine how the server can specify the actual input text, such as core.co, when the client currently sees co; done means the response can convey that distinction clearly.
