Quick Test for Root-Level Flag Completion Fix

Historical snapshot: This records completion work and results from December 2025. Source line numbers, generated output, file counts, and option lists may differ in v1.3.0. See the current Bash guide for current behavior.

Fix Date: 2025-12-29 Issue: Root-level prefix completion not working File Modified: src/cli.application.pas (lines 1095-1110)

Test the Fix

In Git Bash, run these commands to verify the fix:

cd /c/Users/iwank/Documents/github/cli-fp/example-bin

# Source the completion script
source subcommanddemo_completion.bash

# Test 1.3: Complete '--h' prefix (THIS WAS FAILING BEFORE)
./SubCommandDemo.exe --h[TAB][TAB]

Expected result:

--help  --help-complete

Additional tests:

# Test all root-level flags with '--' prefix
./SubCommandDemo.exe --[TAB][TAB]

Expected:

--help  --help-complete  --version  --completion-file  --completion-file-pwsh

# Test all root-level flags with '-' prefix
./SubCommandDemo.exe -[TAB][TAB]

Expected:

--help  --help-complete  --version  --completion-file  --completion-file-pwsh  -h  -v

What Was Fixed

Before: Typing ./SubCommandDemo.exe --h[TAB] showed no completions

After: Typing ./SubCommandDemo.exe --h[TAB] completes to --help or shows --help --help-complete

Root Cause: The completion logic was trying to match --h as a command name instead of recognizing it as a flag prefix.

Fix: Added logic to detect when the first token starts with - and complete root-level flags instead of commands.
