Pull request overview
This PR improves shell completion behavior by avoiding suggestions that have already been consumed when completing commands that accept multiple arguments.
Changes:
- Wrap existing completion functions (images/containers/volumes/networks/env vars and
FromList) with a newUniquewrapper. - Add a
Uniquehelper that filters completion candidates already present inargs.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

When completing for commands that accept multiple arguments, we did
not remove suggestions that were already consumed. This could be
confusing if there was only 1 suggestion, in which case every `<tab>`
would automatically suggest the same name again:
docker rm -fv magical_lumiere magical_lumiere magical_lumiere
This patch adds a "Unique" helper to wrap a completion func to remove
completion results that are already consumed (i.e., appear in "args").
For example:
# initial completion: args is empty, so all results are shown
command <tab>
one two three
# "one" is already used so omitted
command one <tab>
two three

This patch adds a "Unique" helper to wrap a completion func to remove completion results that are already consumed (i.e., appear in "args").
For example:
- What I did
- How I did it
- How to verify it
- Human readable description for the release notes
