Autocomplete query activation policy: browse request is indistinguishable from an ordinary typed search · case 02

The browse-descriptor completion transition produces an incorrect observable state.

Case contract

This stipulated picker searches only after minimum draft length unless explicit browse is requested. Empty-query browse uses recent suggestions, composition blocks query emission, and disabled/read-only interaction suppresses new requests. Draft erasure cancels pending search and clears query-bound results.

Why this case matters

Autocomplete couples draft text, suggestion identity and asynchronous presentation; this bounded lifecycle model isolates one observable interaction defect.
