The built-in completion support worked by having the shell script append a hidden --generate-bash-completion flag, which App.Run stripped off before flag parsing and answered by calling a user-supplied BashCompleteFunc that printed candidate names. Applications had to write those callbacks by hand, and completion of flag values was not supported at all. Replace it with github.com/posener/complete. App.Run now detects a completion request via COMP_LINE and answers it from a complete.Command tree built by walking the app's commands, aliases, flags and global flags. - Flag gains GetPredictor(); each generated flag type gains a CustomFlagPredictor field for completing its value. - Command.BashComplete is replaced by Command.CustomCompletePredictor for completing positional arguments. - New SetupShellCompletion (install.go) installs and uninstalls the shell hook, replacing the hand-maintained autocomplete/ scripts. - BashCompleteFunc, BashCompletionFlag, DefaultAppComplete, ShowCompletions, ShowCommandCompletions and Context.shellComplete are removed. The code generator is fixed to run under python3 (NamedTemporaryFile needs an explicit text mode) and renamed to generate-flag-types.py; the doc comment in cli.go is reflowed to gofmt's current style.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR currently risks breaking generated builds, existing custom flag implementations, and completion of global flags after subcommands, while shell setup has a bounded partial-install recovery risk.

In `@complete.go`:
- Around line 46-50: Update cmdToCompleteCmd so every generated child
complete.Command receives the application’s global flag map in GlobalFlags,
allowing complete.Command.predict to resolve global flags during recursive
subcommand prediction while preserving the existing Sub, Args, and Flags
mappings.
In `@flag.go`:
- Line 59: Remove GetCompleter from the public Flag interface to preserve
compatibility with existing implementations. Define a separate optional
completer interface, and update flagsToCompleteFlags to use its GetCompleter
implementation when available or complete.PredictNothing otherwise.
In `@generate-flag-types.py`:
- Around line 183-185: Update the predictor_body generation for value flags to
return complete.PredictAnything when f.Completer is nil, while preserving the
existing f.Completer behavior when present; then regenerate flag_generated.go so
the generated implementation reflects this fallback.
In `@install.go`:
- Line 115: Update the installation decision flow around isInstalled(cmd) to
check whether the detected shell itself is registered before assigning
AlreadyInstalled. Preserve installErr when that shell’s configuration write
failed, even if completeinstall.IsInstalled reports another shell as installed;
only return AlreadyInstalled when the detected shell is available.

This moves the posener/complete library into this package, replacing the old bash completion setup. Each command and flag (except bool flag) now has a Completer field that can carry a complete.Predictor. Also, the installation has been moved here as well.
