feat(cli): publish native completions in packslip

[jdx]

Make usage --completions <shell> generate native scripts that call the usage binary's compiled completion handler. This removes the self-completion scripts' bash-completion dependency and adds PowerShell output. General usage generate completion behavior is unchanged.

Publish all four scripts alongside the CLI specification and declare them as signed Packslip resources. Refresh the checked-in scripts and generator task. Keep ordinary CLI invocations on their existing argv path; only native completion requests allocate protocol arguments.

Validation: CLI unit tests and all 22 shell integration tests passed; the shell-function shadowing test now drives native completion and asserts the returned candidate. Native script generation/callback checks, Bash/Zsh syntax, strict Clippy for the CLI and all targets/features, formatting, and workflow lint passed.

Companion installer support: jdx/mise#12848. Registry adoption: jdx/mise#12845.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes user-facing completion behavior and adds an early argv path in run(), but scope is limited to the CLI and release assets with strong CI validation.

Overview
Native shell completions for the usage CLI now call the installed binary via usage __complete_word__ instead of caching a spec and using complete-word. Bash, Zsh, Fish, and new PowerShell scripts are generated with usage --completions, handle file/dir/command completion markers from the binary, and use command usage so shell functions cannot shadow the executable.

The CLI enables this with #[usage(completion = true)], routes __complete_word__ through Cli::completion_request before normal parsing, and serves scripts from usage_rs rather than static includes (PowerShell is no longer unsupported).

Release and packaging: the publish workflow generates all four scripts, smoke-tests the callback and shell syntax, uploads them to GitHub releases, and registers Packslip completion/* assets. The render:usage-cli-completions task matches that generator path.

Integration tests for function shadowing now assert completion candidates (e.g. generate) instead of spec file contents.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now generates native shell completion scripts and handles __complete_word__ requests. Bash, Fish, Zsh, and PowerShell assets use this protocol. Development tasks generate all four assets, and the release workflow validates them.

Changes

Native shell completion flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Completion runtime and script generation cli/src/cli/mod.rs, cli/src/lib.rs, cli/src/usage_spec.rs, cli/Cargo.toml	The CLI enables completion generation, handles __complete_word__ before normal processing, and generates scripts through usage-rs.
Shell-specific completion assets cli/assets/completions/*	Bash, Fish, Zsh, and PowerShell scripts query the native completion protocol and process candidate, command, file, directory, executable, and extension results.
Native completion integration tests cli/tests/shell_completions_integration.rs	Bash and Fish tests invoke native completion callbacks and verify that generate is returned without shell-function shadowing.
Asset generation and release mise.toml, .github/workflows/publish-cli.yml	The completion task generates four shell assets. The release workflow installs required shell tools and validates the PowerShell script.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a99bd

Native completion changes may leave Bash integration tests expecting removed legacy behavior, causing CI failures until those assertions are aligned with the new completion flow.

1740-1746: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove or update the legacy Bash guard assertions. The native Bash generator no longer emits the custom CLI guard or requires bash-completion. These tests now assert behavior that the PR intentionally removes, so they fail when Bash is available.

• cli/tests/shell_completions_integration.rs#L1740-L1746: stop requiring the removed "usage_guard_probe CLI not found" message. Test only the retained executable-resolution behavior if it remains required.
• cli/tests/shell_completions_integration.rs#L1794-L1805: remove the expected failure without bash-completion, or replace it with a successful native-completion assertion.
