Description

if a user has a broken variable, like a query that doesn't return anything, they currently can't use that variable with flux auto completion, because it doesn't generate a proper AST

feels like we should allow a variable to be broken, let the user finish their copy pasta job, and then have the dashboard start working once they fix their variable.

Research direction

The issue concerns Flux auto-completion and AST generation; start by locating the auto-completion entry point and the code that builds the AST for variables. Reproduce a variable whose query returns nothing, then verify that completion remains available and the dashboard works after the variable is fixed.
