Previously, the Language Service fetched Quick Info and definitions for template variables (such as `@let` declarations) using mapping to their `initializerLocation` (the right-hand side expression). This aggressively bubbled the type, JSDoc, and definition identity of the initializer backwards onto the variable itself.
This approach had two flaws:
1. It broke type narrowing because the LS read the original un-narrowed type from the source expression rather than the type of the narrowed intermediate variable in the Type Check Block.
2. It deviated from native TypeScript semantics, where a local `let` binding (`let address = hero.address`) does not inherit the docstrings or `(property)` kind of its initializer, acting solely as a local inferred variable.
By using `localVarLocation` rather than `initializerLocation` for LetDeclaration Quick Info and Type Definitions, these intermediate variables now properly preserve type narrowing within templates and flawlessly match the standard behavior expected of TypeScript block variables. `VariableSymbol.initializerLocation` is retained solely to map the value spans of structural directive contexts (e.g., `exportAs` strings).
