Issue

shell completion for ros2 doesn't work out of the box. I had to manually:
source share/ros2cli/environment/ros2-argcomplete.bash

Looks like, this is usually sourced via share/ros2cli/package.dsv:

source;share/ros2cli/environment/ros2-argcomplete.bash
source;share/ros2cli/environment/ros2-argcomplete.zsh

Any idea, why it is not sourced with RoboStack (pixi)?

Research direction

Reproduce the missing completion after installing pixi jazzy, then inspect share/ros2cli/package.dsv and the referenced share/ros2cli/environment/ros2-argcomplete.bash and .zsh files. Compare the environment setup with the manual source workaround; done means ros2 shell completion works without sourcing either script manually.
