Research direction

Start in the query tool's autocomplete flow and reproduce the issue by disabling autocomplete, opening a query, switching to a connection with a different user and database, and pressing Ctrl+Space. Done means autocomplete opens and works after the connection change; no specific file or test is named in the report.
