Fix Hover Information and Semantic Highlighting Bugs in Multiple Jac Files

Overview

This pull request addresses critical bugs affecting hover information and semantic highlighting across multiple Jac files within our system. These issues lead to incorrect hover information displays and inaccurate semantic highlighting due to cross-file data contamination.

Problems Addressed

Hover Information Discrepancies:
- Issue: Tooltips display information that may belong to similar elements in different Jac files, causing confusion.
- Impact: Developers face misinformation when interacting with code, impacting productivity and increasing error rates.
Faulty Semantic Highlighting:
- Issue: Code semantics are highlighted erroneously based on data from unrelated Jac files.
- Impact: Misleads the visual code analysis and readability, affecting the development process negatively.

Root Cause

The bugs were traced back to improper isolation in the cross-referencing logic of our system's file handling module, where hover data and semantic contexts were mistakenly shared across multiple Jac files.

Changes Made

Isolation of File Contexts: Implemented isolated file-specific contexts for both hover information and semantic highlighting.
Hover Information Correction: Refined the hover logic to ensure information is fetched solely from the active Jac file.
Semantic Highlighting Improvement: Updated the highlighting engine to adapt dynamically to the specific semantics of the current Jac file.

Expected Outcome

Post-implementation, hover information and semantic highlighting will:

Reflect accurate and relevant data for the hovered element and the active Jac file.
Improve code readability and visual analysis accuracy.

Steps to Test

Open a project with multiple Jac files.
Hover over various elements to check for accurate, file-specific information display.
Check the semantic highlighting for consistency with the actual code semantics of the active Jac file.

Additional Notes

This PR is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the development environment, particularly in projects with extensive Jac file use. Immediate implementation is recommended to mitigate further impacts on productivity.
