+/// Field-anchored suggestion list for text typeaheads (D-88).
+///
+/// The host owns the text parsing + completion (where the `@`/`/` token is, how
+/// to filter, how to rewrite the text on select); `ClideTypeahead` owns the
+/// anchored overlay + the suggestion list. It is driven by [suggestions] —
+/// non-empty shows the popover above the field, empty hides it. Unlike a menu,
+/// it does NOT capture focus or install a tap-away barrier: the text field keeps
+/// focus (you're still typing), and the host closes it on text change / blur /
+/// Esc. Pass [navController] to drive the highlight from the field's own key
+/// handler (the slash typeahead does this while the EditableText keeps focus);
+/// omit it for a mouse-only list (the @-mention).
