[refactoring]

Previews TypeScript language-service rename edits for a symbol without applying them.

Why this tool exists

Rename planning should show the affected symbol occurrences before any file changes happen.

How it helps the agent

The model can review affected files and warnings before deciding whether to apply the rename.
