Summary

  • complete attached long flag values against the fragment after =
  • reattach the long flag form to candidates because shells replace the whole word
  • keep file fallback working for open attached values and add CLI/corpus regressions

Fixes #999.

Tests

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • git diff --check
  • cargo test -p usage-cli --test complete_word complete_word -- --nocapture
  • CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo test -p usage-conformance --test complete -- --nocapture
  • CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo test -p usage-argv --features complete an_attached_value_is_answered_by_its_flag -- --nocapture

Full mise run ci was not run locally because broader Cargo builds hit the /tmp disk quota on this machine.

AI note: This PR was prepared with help from OpenAI Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added completion for inline long-option values using --flag=value syntax.
    • Preserves the full option prefix when suggesting values.
    • Supports dynamic value completion for attached long-option arguments.
    • Falls back to filesystem path suggestions when no explicit value choices are available.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved narrowing of values based on text entered after =.
    • Corrected suggestions so the complete option and value are returned together.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Long options using --flag=value syntax now complete attached values through explicit choices or filesystem fallback. Returned candidates retain the full flag prefix. Tests cover path completion, choice completion, dynamic completers, and corpus behavior.

Changes

Attached long-option value completion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attached-value completion logic
cli/src/cli/complete_word.rs
The completer parses --flag=value tokens, passes the value fragment to argument completion, uses explicit choices when available, falls back to filesystem paths otherwise, and restores the --flag= prefix.
Completion coverage
cli/tests/complete_word.rs, corpus/complete/02-values-and-restarts.json
Tests verify path completion, explicit choice completion, dynamic completer input, and corpus completion from --format=j to --format=json.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d8274

Attached long-option completion may return an incorrect filename candidate in an edge case where value fallback finds no matches. This is a bounded correctness risk, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit typed --flag= bright,
The value fragment came in sight.
json sprang from j,
Paths followed cheerfully,
The prefix stayed attached just right.

- Around line 244-246: Update the long-value completion flow around
attached_long_value and complete_arg so dynamic completers receive the value
fragment (for example, j) as the current word rather than the full --flag=j
token; clone the completion context, replace its current word with prefix, and
pass that context to complete_arg consistently with the sigil path, then add a
regression test covering dynamic completion for an attached long value.
