Pull request overview
This PR adds end-to-end “Connection Management” support to the VS Code extension and LSP, enabling users to view/declare/bind/create connection references and to improve authoring-time feedback via IntelliSense and diagnostics, addressing issue #303.
Changes:
- Adds a Connections Manager UX (command + webview) and wiring across context menus / quick fixes.
- Introduces new LSP endpoints + Sync-layer APIs for listing connections/connectors, declaring/binding/removing references, and enabling/disabling workflows based on binding state.
- Adds IntelliSense + validation rules for
connectionReference:values and workflow “draft/not enabled” validation driven by a local connections cache.
