That's pretty good.  If you could add pylsp or pyright (basedpyright),
I'd feel even more confident.

I don't have time to spend examining these details, just the final
outcome is relevant: partial completions cannot be inserted, but
fragments of a completion can be completed to a fully formed
completion (eventually running exit-function then).

I don't have time to investigate right now, but indeed that issue there were
two consecutive fixes: the first one (which you say "still works") and a second
one which I eventually reverted because it fixes some things and broke
others.

So is the regression you mention in relation to the current Eglot state or
to that intermediate state?

Regardless, if possible, make an automated test and mark it "expected
failing" to record this fact.

I'd have to have a clearer view on what exactly has regressed and what
has advanced.  Then a better decision can be made.  Thank you for
this work.
