Research direction

The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by tracing the repository’s existing completion and IntelliSense entry points and how .psd1 files are identified; clarify the metadata and PSScriptAnalyzerSettings fields that should be suggested. Done means dedicated completion behavior is defined for both module metadata and the named settings file.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Summary

Module metadata looks like certain shape of hashtable, can we have dedicated completion for its fields/keys?

Should also cover special psd1 file such as PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1.
