Description
Describe the bug
Beginning with PowerShell 7.3, the PowerShell argument completion script no longer works for empty commands (ie. command <tab> or command subcommand <tab>).
Auto complete only works if you begin to type at least one character of the next "phrase" (ie. command s<tab>)
Steps to reproduce
From a PowerShell 7.3 command line, type the following:
flux <tab> # nothing happens! Or
flux suspend <tab> # nothing happens! Expected behavior
The commands auto-complete:
flux <tab> # auto-completes 'bootstrap' Or
flux suspend <tab> # auto-completes 'alerts' Screenshots and recordings

Additional context
This is actually an issue in the cobra library. It is due to changes in PS 7.3 that corrected a long standing bug in native command argument passing and quoting. Cobra generates a work-around that escapes the quotes surrounding the empty command. In the new default argument passing mode this is invalid.
I have opened an issue there
I originally thought this was an issue with the individual CLI tools I was using and I meant to open the issue here in the Flux repo. However, I dug into the Flux source and discovered the referenced cobra library is what is generating the script.
I figured I'd open the issue here anyways so others don't waste their time, and as a tracking issue to monitor the external library (albeit, likely low priority).
