Research direction

Start by locating the existing Device definitions and the code that creates or tracks devices in hutch-python. Trace how EPICS PVs are associated with Devices, then define the completion check as returning the already-created Device containing a requested PV. The issue does not name files or tests, so those entry points must be identified first.
