Problem Statement

When using @ to reference files in the CLI, autocomplete only shows top-level items in the working directory. Typing @3_Resource/ and continuing to type does not show files inside that subdirectory.

Current behavior
Autocomplete stops at the first level. Users must type the full path manually (e.g., @3_Resource/workout.md) without any completion assistance.

Proposed Solution

Expected behavior
After typing @folder/, autocomplete should list the contents of that subdirectory, allowing users to navigate deeper paths interactively.

Why this matters
In projects or vaults with deeply nested structures, it is difficult to reference specific files without remembering exact paths. Recursive autocomplete would significantly improve the file referencing experience.
