Closes #51450 When you restart the lsp, it does not sufficiently clear cached data regarding the semantic tokens, if using semantic_tokens = "full", this would mean that you would have no syntax highlighting. also, toggling on and off semantic tokens in the menu would have no effect. this change properly clears the cached state and things work again! Before: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/67ac1be1-ae3d-4c84-afbc-056fd81f63f0 After: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/644f8297-8003-4d74-b962-81ba9bb8274c You might notice that the syntax highlighting is quite spare in the videos, especially compared to the non semantic token based highlighting, and you would be correct! but thats just how it is with `semantic_tokens: "full"`, other editors, like neovim, provide basic syntax highlighting that zed doesn't (because it doesn't need to with treesitter usually, but here treesitter is disabled), however if we turn off that syntax highlighting we can see that neovim actually matches zed here: <img width="847" height="485" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-12 at 11 33 19 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7f90789c-dac3-41bf-9d19-640c6c7b1144" /> Before you mark this PR as ready for review, make sure that you have: - [x] Added a solid test coverage and/or screenshots from doing manual testing - [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance aspects - [x] Aligned any UI changes with the [UI checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) Release Notes: - lsp: Fixed restarting the LSP breaking semantic token highlighting.
