Description
Jotting this down quickly, but ark is no help if you want to look at ?Startup, i.e. it basically fights you and tries to complete to ?packageStartupMessage or ?suppressPackageStartupMessages. Feels like our list of help completions fails to cover some category of topic. E.g. topics that aren't also exported functions or symbols.
Presumably related to / same as https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/6157.

Research direction
Start by tracing ark's help-topic completion path and compare it with how R topics such as ?Startup are represented. Check the related posit-dev/positron#6157 issue for context. Done means help-topic completions include topics that are not exported functions or symbols, without regressing the existing package and function completions.
