Research direction

Start with vendor/clink-completions/cmd_commands.lua at line 256 and reproduce the startup failure using Cmder Mini 1.3.25.328 on Windows 10. Determine why setcmdcommand is unavailable in the reported environment; done means Cmder starts without this error, with a regression check if the repository provides one.
