Import("...") sets only the contract name. The parameter still requires IServiceProvider, but Visual Studio exports SVsServiceProvider. MEF rejects all four parts. Import SVsServiceProvider by type.

Roslyn runs these callbacks on worker threads. This code calls UI-bound shell services without switching threads, so exceptions escape the fail-open path. Track selection on the UI thread and publish a thread-safe snapshot.

Results now depend on focus, but no provider invalidates results when focus moves between visible panes. Invalidate both documents on selection changes, or remove result-level gating.
