Deferred from v3 Batch 3, re-recorded in the Batch 4 PR doc.

Monaco tag-path completion inside ctx.GetTag("…") / ctx.SetVirtualTag("…") works for the equipment-relative {{equip}}/ form, but not for absolute RawPaths (Plant/Modbus/dev1/Speed).

Since v3 the raw tree is the authoring surface for device I/O and absolute RawPaths are a normal thing to write in a script, so the completion gap pushes authors to type them by hand — and a typo'd RawPath is only caught at deploy (Bad 0x80000000 at runtime for the literal).

Worth pairing with the existing tag-path hover so an absolute path resolves and displays like a relative one. Editor-accepts ⇔ publish-accepts is the invariant to preserve.
