Completion was the one area with three implementations and no shared fixture.
argv/src/complete.rs has its own unit tests, cli/src/cli/complete_word.rs
has its own, and the Go implementation landed in #984 with a third set. Three
sets of tests written against three readings of the same rules is the
arrangement behind every drift this project has chased — the help renderers
agreed on mise and differed on five of the other six jdx CLIs until #972 held
them to one fixture.

17 vectors in corpus/complete/, plain JSON like the others so a Go, JS or
Python implementation can run them without reimplementing a test format:
positions (command, prefix, dash, hidden, aliases, globals in and out of scope)
and values (a flag's choices, a positional's, and restart tokens).

Restart tokens are why this file exists. mise declares ::: on run, nothing
covered it, and it is the one rule that makes the cursor's position depend on a
word rather than a count — past the token the answer is the command's first
argument again, whatever the words before it filled.

Closes two thirds of PLAN.md's "not covered by the corpus yet". Mounts stay
uncovered on purpose: resolving one runs a command, which a corpus cannot do
hermetically, as the differential fuzzer found the expensive way.

Every expectation was measured before it was written. Two of the first
vectors asserted behaviour neither implementation has — a restart token offering
itself, and --format=j completing its value. Both were plausible and both were
mine rather than the grammar's. The corpus is the definition of correct, so one
author's opinion is not enough to put a rule in it: the restart-token vector now
pins what both implementations do (an argument with no choices defers to paths),
and the attached-value case is left out rather than pinned, because a vector
asserting "nothing happens" would block the fix. Both are noted where a reader
will find them.

Mutation-checked from both directions: unhiding a hidden subcommand in
argv/src/complete.rs fails hidden-is-never-offered, and a vector claiming
one word too many fails on its own id.

Note

Low Risk
Mostly new test fixtures and conformance wiring; the CLI change is a thin metadata wrapper around existing completion behavior with no change to stdout output.

Overview
Introduces corpus/complete/ — JSON vectors that define what must complete at a given cursor for a KDL spec (positions, flags, choices, restart tokens, and files: true when the answer is path fallback). conformance loads them, runs usage-argv completion, and checks metadata, unique ids, and reference labels against usage-cli.

usage-cli completion now returns CandidateAnswer via complete_answer: same printed candidates as before, plus a files flag when choices came from filesystem scanning so the corpus can compare implementations without listing checkout-specific paths.

Integration tests in conformance/tests/complete.rs gate usage-argv against every vector and keep documented reference divergences honest.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a public completion conformance module. It loads JSON vectors, executes local and reference completion against parsed specifications, compares candidates and file-completion status, and validates position, value, and restart-token cases.

Changes

Completion conformance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured completion answer API
cli/src/cli/complete_word.rs, cli/src/lib.rs
Exposes CandidateAnswer and answer, including filesystem-fallback status. Existing candidate-only APIs remain available.
Corpus contracts and execution
conformance/src/complete.rs, conformance/src/lib.rs, conformance/Cargo.toml
Defines JSON models, loads sorted vectors, runs local and reference completion, compares results, and exports the conformance module.
Corpus fixtures and validation
conformance/tests/complete.rs, corpus/complete/*
Adds completion vectors and documentation. Tests validate results, IDs, documentation, expectations, and reference labels.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 01c90

This change adds shared completion conformance coverage and localized test support without any actionable merge-blocking risk remaining beyond normal checks and review.

A rabbit checks each flag in line,
While values hop in order fine.
Restart tokens turn the page,
Corpus tests guard every stage.
Completion blooms in JSON light.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a language-neutral completion corpus and a Rust conformance adapter for checking usage-argv candidate selection. Major changes:

  • Adds position, value, and restart-token completion vectors.
  • Adds corpus loading, matching, and execution support.
  • Adds integrity tests for expectations, unique IDs, and divergence annotations.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with one non-blocking gap in automatically validating the corpus’s reference-agreement labels.

The new vectors are exercised successfully against usage-argv, but the test suite can silently retain false or stale claims about whether the independent usage-cli implementation agrees.

Files Needing Attention: conformance/tests/complete.rs, conformance/src/complete.rs

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
conformance/src/complete.rs Adds the completion corpus schema, loader, adapter, and order-insensitive candidate matching; its default reference label relies on external validation that is not wired into the tests.
conformance/tests/complete.rs Adds useful corpus integrity and execution tests, but reference labels are only checked for nonempty notes rather than accuracy.
corpus/complete/01-positions.json Adds focused vectors for command, flag, hidden-item, alias, and global-scope completion positions.
corpus/complete/02-values-and-restarts.json Adds vectors for value choices, path fallback, and restart-token cursor behavior.
corpus/complete/README.md Clearly documents the portable corpus contract, including a reference-label guarantee that the test harness does not fully enforce.

P2 Reference labels remain unverified

This test only requires a nonempty note for Reference::Diverges and never runs usage-cli, so false default Agrees labels and stale divergence labels pass while the corpus misrepresents implementation compatibility.

Shadow comparison

Parsing mise use -g node@20 against a shadow of mise's committed spec.
Reported, not gated: the shadow grows as the derive learns to express more, so
what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.
