In this case, next should not colored as "defaultlibary"

local next = "wefw"
print(next)
next("wef")

Summary of Changes

Hello @phanen, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses an issue where the semantic tokenization incorrectly colored locally declared variables that shared names with Lua's built-in global functions. By adjusting the order of checks, the system now correctly identifies and colors local declarations first, resolving the misidentification of local variables as global library functions and improving the accuracy of semantic highlighting.

Highlights

  • Semantic Token Coloring Logic: The logic for determining semantic token types has been updated to prioritize local declarations over built-in global variable checks. This prevents local variables from being incorrectly identified as global library functions.
  • Handling of Lua Built-in Globals: The check for Lua built-in global variables (like next, print, etc.) now only occurs if no local declaration for the given name is found, ensuring correct semantic highlighting for shadowed global names.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses an issue where local variables that shadow Lua built-in functions were being incorrectly highlighted. The fix properly prioritizes searching for a declaration before checking if the identifier is a built-in global. The implementation is also more efficient by reusing the result of the declaration search, thus avoiding a redundant call to find_decl. The changes are logical and effectively resolve the bug.
