Description
I'm not sure what is special about that case or if it repros with other scenarios/folders.
#include <Kernel/
Repro is like that -- one folder can be completed like "sys", but after that the completions show no results.
Other features like the Add '#include' code actions work correctly for those cases and I see the files under there being tag parsed.

Research direction
Reproduce this on macOS with #include <Kernel/, checking completion for sys and then for deeper subfolders. Compare the failing include-completion behavior with the working Add '#include' code action and tag-parsed files, then trace the completion entry point to determine where subfolder results are lost. Done means completions appear for the affected Kernel subfolders.
