Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing autocomplete in Otty on macOS with the reported zsh environment, running q doctor and q restart as described. Trace the terminal integration entry point and compare behavior with a supported terminal; done means autocomplete appears while typing commands in Otty.
