Research direction

Start by locating Invoke's CLI autocompletion entry point and reproducing inv --help <tab> to confirm the current file suggestions. Done means completion after --help presents available commands instead of files, with coverage for this invocation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Given what the --help argument does, shouldn't the autocompletion after --help show a selection of available commands (rather than the selection of files it shows currently)? Is this possible?

inv --help <tab>  # show a list of commands, not files
