Description
We've not be able to narrow down the reason yet, but Callers Of randomly does not work.
In cases where it fails to expand an item properly, we do not see the corresponding cpptools/callHierarchyCallsTo in the debug log output. That would seem to suggest the issue is on the TypeScript side.
This may be a VS Code issue, as the repro seems to correspond with not getting a call to the CallHierarchyProvider. But we should rule out whether that might be due to some incorrect information we've provided.

Research direction
Start by reproducing rapid expansion of multiple Callers Of items and inspect the debug log for the corresponding cpptools/callHierarchyCallsTo requests. Trace the CallHierarchyProvider interaction to determine whether the missing request originates in the extension or VS Code; done means the failure cause is identified and documented with a reliable reproduction.
