Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing clang-tidy support and how the extension integrates external clang tools. Compare the required behavior for clang-include-fixer, clang-refactor, clang-analyzer, and clang-rename, then identify the relevant implementation and test entry points. Done means all four tools are supported and covered by tests.
