Research direction
Start with the AcceptSuggestion and ForwardChar entry points named in the exception report. Reproduce the failure in a new Windows Terminal window while completing a cd path with RightArrow, then trace the reported Substring bounds error. Done means path completion no longer hangs or crashes in this scenario.
