feat(completion): add a PowerShell renderer - #722
completion [bash|zsh|fish] covers the three POSIX shells, so Windows users get no completion at all even though the CLI runs there. This adds a fourth renderer, renderPowerShell, built the same way as the other three: a pure function of the CompletionSpec that index.ts already derives from the assembled Commander program, so the script cannot drift from the real command tree.
pwsh is accepted as an alias (normalizeShell) rather than registered as a fifth shell, because both spellings must produce the same script.
Detection
detectShell reads $SHELL, which Windows leaves unset — including inside PowerShell. When $SHELL is empty it now falls back to PSModulePath, which is present in every PowerShell session and nothing else. When $SHELL is set it still wins, so Git-Bash-on-Windows users keep bash completions.
The generated script
A native argument completer, so completion works in both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7:
It resolves candidates in the same order as bash: after a group name offer its subcommands, after a - offer the global flags, otherwise offer the top-level commands. Flags are not completed, matching the documented "commands and their subcommands one level deep" behaviour of the other shells.
Tests
completion.test.ts grew from 12 to 19 cases: the renderer registers the completer, embeds commands/subcommands/flags from the spec, keeps the three resolution branches, filters on the typed word, returns CompletionResult, and is emitted end to end when the command is invoked with pwsh.
Two existing cases had to change, both because the feature makes them wrong rather than awkward:
isShell('powershell') was asserted false — now true, and cmd covers the negative case.
the unsupported-shell case used powershell as its example — now cmd.
Verification
npx tsc --noEmit clean
npx eslint completion.ts .test.ts clean
npx vitest run 4920 passed, 2 skipped, 126 files
npm run build clean
node dist/index.js completion powershell prints the script above
The --help snapshot moved by one wrapped line, which is the description string picking up the fourth shell.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added PowerShell support for command-line completion, including suggestions for commands, subcommands, and flags.
Shell detection now recognizes PowerShell from PSModulePath when $SHELL is unset; an explicit $SHELL value takes precedence.
PowerShell executable names are normalized, including pwsh and names ending in .exe.
`completion [bash|zsh|fish]` covers the three POSIX shells, so Windows users get
no completion at all even though the CLI runs there.
renderPowerShell emits a Register-ArgumentCompleter -Native scriptblock that
reuses the same CompletionSpec as the other three renderers, so it cannot drift
from the real command tree. `pwsh` is accepted as an alias rather than a second
shell, and detectShell falls back to PSModulePath only when $SHELL is unset -
which is the normal case on Windows, including inside PowerShell.

- Line 67: Update the shell-detection logic around shellPath so an inherited
PSModulePath alone does not select PowerShell; require an unambiguous PowerShell
signal, and when detection remains ambiguous, ask for an explicit shell instead
of emitting a potentially incorrect completion script.
- Line 215: Separate explicit shell normalization from automatic detection: when
shellArg is provided and normalizeShell returns undefined, report the
unsupported-shell error for that input; call detectShell only when no shell
argument was supplied. Preserve the existing validation-error exit mapping.

Walkthrough
The completion command now supports PowerShell. It normalizes shell names, detects PowerShell from PSModulePath when SHELL is unset, and generates a native argument completer that selects and filters command-spec candidates.

Summary
Shell recognition and command interface src/commands/completion.ts, src/commands/completion.test.ts
The command supports and documents PowerShell. Shell names are normalized, including pwsh and .exe names. Detection uses PSModulePath when SHELL is unset. Tests cover normalization, detection precedence, and unsupported cmd.
renderCompletion dispatches to a PowerShell renderer. The renderer registers a native argument completer, selects commands, subcommands, or flags, filters candidates by the current word, and emits completion results. Tests cover the generated script and candidate behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 73552
PowerShell completion works as intended. The remaining gaps are a misleading error message for an unsupported explicit shell, and possible wrong-shell auto-detection when only PSModulePath is set. Neither blocks merge, but both are worth a quick fix.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "feat(completion): add a PowerShell renderer" matches the main change. The PR adds a PowerShell completion renderer that registers a native argument completer, and the completion command now accepts PowerShell. The title is concise, specific, and follows a conventional commit style. It does not need to list the alias handling or shell detection changes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #642 requires PowerShell completion, detection of powershell and pwsh, and a Register-ArgumentCompleter script. The reviewed changes add powershell to the supported shells, normalize pwsh and executable names, detect PowerShell from PSModulePath when $SHELL is unset, and render a native argument completer from CompletionSpec. The tests cover registration, spec-derived commands, resolution branches, filtering, CompletionResult, detection precedence, aliases, and command emission. The reported TypeScript, lint, test, and build checks also pass.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The reviewed changes stay within issue #642. The renderer implementation, shell normalization, detection changes, documentation text, and completion tests directly support PowerShell completion. Changing the unsupported-shell test from powershell to cmd keeps that test valid after PowerShell becomes supported. The excluded help snapshot cannot be inspected, but its reported one-line wrapping change is consistent with documenting the new supported shell and does not establish an unrelated change.

Thanks for the PR, @dianchechihan! It links an issue, but that issue isn't assigned to you yet: #642 (unassigned). Per our workflow, claim the issue first by commenting /assign on it (the triage bot assigns you automatically). If it's already assigned to someone else, please coordinate with them or pick another issue — unclaimed-issue PRs are not reviewed. After fixing it, edit the PR description or push a commit to re-run this check. See CONTRIBUTING → Contribution model.
Gate is red only because #642 is not accepted yet, so /assign has not taken effect — nothing in the diff needs to change for it.
Posting this so the state is not misread as a failing check: tsc --noEmit clean, eslint
clean, vitest run 4920 passed / 2 skipped, npm run build clean, and the emitted script is
in the description. Happy to adjust the shape once a maintainer has said which direction they
want.

Do not infer PowerShell solely from PSModulePath.
When testsprite completion runs in cmd.exe launched from PowerShell, the process can inherit PSModulePath while $SHELL remains unset. This branch then prints a PowerShell script in a different shell. Require an unambiguous signal or ask for an explicit shell when detection is ambiguous. Microsoft documents that child processes inherit environment variables, including this PSModulePath case.

Report an unsupported explicit shell as unsupported.
If a user runs testsprite completion cmd, normalizeShell returns undefined. Line 216 then raises “could not detect the shell from $SHELL” instead of the unsupported-shell error below it. Separate explicit-argument validation from automatic detection so the error identifies the input that failed. Keep the existing validation-error exit mapping.
