```
editor: Fix TypeScript auto-import breaking generic function calls (#30312)

Closes #29982

When auto-importing TypeScript functions with generic type arguments
(like `useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)`), the language server returns
snippets with placeholders (e.g., `useRef(${1:initialValue})$0`). While
useful for new function calls, this behavior breaks existing code when
renaming functions that already have parameters.

For example, completing `useR^<HTMLDivElement>(null)` incorrectly
results in `useRef(initialValue)^<HTMLDivElement>(null)`.

Similar workaround fix:

Release Notes:

- Fixed TypeScript auto-import behavior where functions with generic
type arguments (like `useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)`) would incorrectly
insert snippet placeholders, breaking the syntax.
```
