Description

When I use the @ -> tab in VS Code it takes quite a long time to load the options. This only happens the first time in the session, so it appears to cache correctly.

tested with newest stable versions of Quarto and VS Code

Research direction

Reproduce the first-use delay in VS Code with @ followed by Tab on a larger Quarto project, using the linked recording as the behavioral reference. Compare the initial autocomplete load with later requests in the same session; done means the first options load is acceptably responsive without losing the existing cache behavior.
