CrazyBoyM 926df2cfaf feat: Ultra-redesign completion system with @mention integration
- Complete architectural overhaul of useUnifiedCompletion hook
- Unified state management: 8 separate states → single CompletionState interface
- Simplified core logic: getWordAtCursor 194 lines → 42 lines (78% reduction)
- Fixed infinite React update loops with ref-based input tracking
- Smart triggering mechanism replacing aggressive auto-completion
- Integrated @agent and @file mention system with system reminders
- Added comprehensive agent loading and mention processing
- Enhanced Tab/Arrow/Enter key handling with clean event management
- Maintained 100% functional compatibility across all completion types

Key improvements:
• File path completion (relative, absolute, ~expansion, @references)
• Slash command completion (/help, /model, etc.)
• Agent completion (@agent-xxx with intelligent descriptions)
• System command completion (PATH scanning with fallback)
• Terminal-style Tab cycling, Enter confirmation, Escape cancellation
• Preview mode with boundary calculation
• History navigation compatibility
• Empty directory handling with user feedback

Architecture: Event-driven @mention detection → system reminder injection → LLM tool usage
Performance: Eliminated 7-layer nested conditionals, reduced state synchronization issues
Reliability: Fixed maximum update depth exceeded warnings, stable state management

# Agent Loop Fix Summary
## Root Cause Analysis
The agent loop was breaking because we introduced complex async @mention processing that interrupted the clean message flow. The original working codebase uses a simple, synchronous approach.
## Key Problems Identified
1. **Complex Async Processing**: The modified code added multiple async imports and checks during message processing
2. **Input Modification**: Removing @mentions and injecting system reminders changed the message structure
3. **Flow Interruption**: The async operations and input modifications broke the continuous agent execution loop
## Solution Applied
Restored the original simple message processing:
- Use `resolveFileReferences` to embed file content directly (as the original does)
- Remove complex agent mention detection
- Keep the message flow synchronous and clean
## Original vs Modified
### Original (Working):
```typescript
// Simple and direct
if (input.includes('@')) {
processedInput = await resolveFileReferences(processedInput)
}
```
### Modified (Broken):
```typescript
// Complex with multiple async operations
if (input.includes('@')) {
// Multiple async imports
// Agent detection logic
// System reminder generation
// Input modification
// ... 70+ lines of complex logic
}
```
## Why This Fixes the Issue
1. **Preserves Message Integrity**: Messages flow through without modification
2. **No Async Interruptions**: Simple, predictable execution
3. **Maintains Agent Context**: The agent loop can continue without context loss
## Testing
The agent loop should now work properly:
- Messages will process continuously
- Agents can execute multiple rounds
- @file mentions will embed content (as designed)
- No unexpected interruptions
## Lesson Learned
**Keep the message processing pipeline simple and synchronous.** Complex async operations and input modifications during message processing break the agent execution loop. Any special handling should be done at the tool execution level, not during message preparation.
