Future Work for Repo Assist

• Investigate issue SqlProgrammabilityProvider design-time: "The given key was not present in the dictionary" and then "No constructors are available" the first time an sproc is used until project reload #379 (design-time race condition — same root cause as Assertion in findTypeInfoBySqlEngineTypeId #354)
• Consider fix for Assertion in findTypeInfoBySqlEngineTypeId #354: scoped cache invalidation or graceful cache-miss handling in findTypeInfoBySqlEngineTypeId
• Continue commenting on older unaddressed issues
