Query Editor Autocomplete

What it is

The query editor combines static language suggestions with plugin-provided schema metadata to accelerate query authoring.

Current behavior

• Built-in keywords and commands are always available.
• Optional completion-fields requests enrich suggestions with driver-specific field or column names.
• Suggestions are cached per tab context to avoid excessive plugin calls.

Key components

• query editor component
• frontend/src/composables/useTabCompletion.ts
• plugin optional completion-fields support

How it connects to other modules

• depends on the connection and selected resource context
• uses plugin-exposed metadata through the backend
• improves result-oriented workflows without changing the execution contract

Limits and roadmap

• Failures degrade to built-in suggestions only.
• Streaming or live metadata enrichment is not part of the current baseline.
