Research direction

Start by comparing the existing tab-completion path for the MATLAB terminal with the path used while debugging in VS Code. Trace where completion input is handled in each context and identify why the debugger does not receive it. Done means tab completion works inside the MATLAB debugger without breaking terminal completion.
