QFace IDL for VS Code

Syntax highlighting and language support for the QFace IDL, backed by a Python language server that reuses the qface parser and domain model.

Status

Early-stage implementation, following the phased plan in qface-lsp-implementierungsplan.md:

• Phase 0 — Project setup
• Phase 1 — Syntax highlighting (TextMate grammar)
• Phase 2 — Minimal language server (syntax diagnostics)
• Phase 3 — Semantic diagnostics
• Phase 4 — Hover / completion / go-to-definition / find references
• Phase 5 — Robustness & tests
• Phase 6 — Packaging & distribution
