- new commandcomplete.test (6 tests, green 9.0.3 + 8.7): punk::lib::system::incomplete pure-function characterization - the info-complete quoting quirk (a quoted word with unbalanced braces e.g set x "{*}{" is complete standalone but needs extra closers inside a proc body; the pending-opener stack { " { " shrinks per typed closer), single openers, tabs in open braces, escapes, and an incomplete<->info-complete parity property over a case battery
- goals/G-044 detail: the user-specified preserve-list any repl refactor must honour (info-complete parity + quirk, closing-prompt hints incl the accepted single-candidate limitation pinned-not-fixed, raw-mode colour staging in-progress vs submitted, literal tab acceptance with raw-mode marker edit smarts, dim space dots display-only never leaking into submitted strings/history, up/down navigation of MULTILINE editbuf history with recalled entries editable) + testability findings: class_editbuf is console-coupled at its core (add_chunk renders via overtype::renderline against live terminal metrics - cursor-position size probing, DECRQPSR tabstops) so items 3-6 are not unit-characterizable until a console seam exists - G-001 (pluggable console backends / ::opunk::Console test double) is the enabling refactor, not just a feature goal
- goals/G-020 detail: repl interactive-behaviour verification recorded as a driving use case (near-term windows harness: keystroke injection + capture) pending the durable pseudoconsole expect-alternative

User-approved goal for interactive command completion and hinting in the repl
(raw mode primary), driven by the punk::args documentation corpus:
- command-word resolution via the same doc-lookup flow as 'i' (ensembles,
subcommands, ensemble parameters - characterized in cmdflow.test), argument
position via the definitions (options, choices with parse-consistent
prefix/deny/reserve matching, literals, multi-form awareness per G-041)
- activation preserves the editbuf's literal-tab support (tab is content in
this shell - completion cannot exclusively claim plain Tab; trigger scheme
decided and recorded at implementation)
- per-subshell completion-provider seam: the punk::args completer is the
default provider; a subshell can declare an alternative or none - minimum
bar is a clean disable for language subshells such as an interactive xtal
session (full xtal completion out of scope, not precluded)
- introspection must not execute candidate commands (arginfo principle);
no per-keystroke terminal queries added when idle (G-013 approach note)
Detail-file weaves from the same direction:
- G-041: form candidacy should be exposed as an API accepting PARTIAL argument
lists (per-form compatibility while typing) for the G-044 hinting consumer
- G-043: subshell definitions gain a repl-behaviour composition aspect
(completion/syntax provider); xtal-style language subshells recorded as the
motivating scenario, an actual xtal session deferred to its own future goal
- G-013: raw editor essentials noted as G-044's prerequisite; the editbuf
literal-tab constraint recorded as a standing approach note
