    },
    range = {
      end = {
        character = 0,
        line = 0
      },
      start = {
        character = 0,
        line = 0
      }
    },
    textDocument = {
      uri = "file:///MY_PATH"
    }
  }
}

and no syntax suggestion

Additional Notes

I have simply wrote it in script/config/template.lua :

		log.info(self.sep)
		log.info("----- value-----")
		log.info(value)
		if self.sep then
			log.info("----- self.sep 2 -----")
			log.info(self.sep)
			for s in value:gmatch('[^' .. self.sep .. ']+') do
				t[s] = true
			end
		end```

now it works perfect

value is always
`configuredByTheme`

Research direction

Start at script/config/template.lua:157 and follow the config flow through script/config/config.lua, using the supplied stack trace and logs_bug.txt. Reproduce the refresh in the Windows 11 setup if possible, then verify that completion returns without the nil 'sep' error and that the relevant config path is covered by an appropriate test.
