Research direction

Start with Core/Sources/KeyBindingManager/TabToAcceptSuggestion.swift, the only source file named in the logs, and compare the reported streamChoices and ghostText messages with the completion flow. Reproduce the issue using the listed Copilot for Xcode, Xcode, and macOS versions; done means completion suggestions appear while typing and can be accepted normally.
