Preview panel stays empty for command/file completions #123

Description

@flyingrobots

Problem

When the Vim command-line completion popup is open on the title screen, the preview panel shows fallback text such as NONE AGENTS.md, Evidence: unavailable, and Preview unavailable instead of rendering a useful preview for the selected file/directory completion.

Repro

  1. Start jedit on the title screen.
  2. Type : to enter the Vim command-line surface.
  3. Type edit so the command/file completion popup appears.
  4. Move selection to a file such as AGENTS.md.
  5. Observe the right-side preview panel.

Expected

The selected completion should either show an actual preview/source/evidence pane when available, or a deliberately designed lower-mode explanation that tells the user why preview is unavailable.

Actual

The panel appears effectively empty/busted, with generic unavailable text for selections that should have useful local file context.

Notes

This is not part of the current Vim power-move runtime batch, but it should be kept as a follow-up for the command/file completion surface.
