Description

The internal structure of the beans in the new spring index contains information about super types, but this information should be internal only to the spring index and should not be transferred over the wire when clients ask for the beans of the spring index via the LSP communication.

That way, we can optimize the internal structure (e.g. #1045) without worrying about breaking clients who use this internal information.

Research direction

Trace the Spring index bean representation from its internal structure to the LSP communication boundary. Confirm that super type information remains available internally but is omitted from bean data sent to clients, then verify the client-facing response shape and relevant index behavior.
