Description

Currently, triggering completion inside an array does not collect completion items from contributors. It would be nice to be able to suggest additional completion items beyond the "New object" filler item, especially when the array is supposed to contain strings rather than objects.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Begin by locating the completion handling for arrays and the contributor completion API, then determine how string-item suggestions should be collected alongside the existing "New object" item; done means contributors can provide array item completions without breaking object-array behavior.
