[refactoring]

Applies TypeScript language-service rename edits for a symbol after computing the plan.

Why this tool exists

JS/TS renames should follow language-service identity rather than search-and-replace text.

How it helps the agent

The model can preview or apply semantic rename plans with affected files and diagnostics evidence.

Try it locally in the TGlider playground
