WHY are these changes introduced?
Filtering inside
renderAutocompletePrompt(e.g. the theme selector that appears forshopify theme push) feels noticeably laggy: there's a ~400ms gap between typing and seeing matching results update.The cause is the throttle on the search callback in
AutocompletePrompt(packages/cli-kit/src/private/node/ui/components/AutocompletePrompt.tsx). The 400ms window makes sense for callers that supply a remote/paginatedsearch(we don't want to hammer an API on every keystroke), but it also gates the default in-memory filter thatrenderAutocompletePromptinjects when the caller doesn't pass one — and that filter is fully synchronous (Promise.resolve(choices.filter(...))), so there's no I/O to throttle.WHAT is this pull request doing?
searchDebounceMsprop toAutocompletePrompt, default400(backward-compatible).renderAutocompletePromptsetssearchDebounceMs: 0only when it's injecting its own default in-memory filter; if the caller supplied their ownsearch, the default 400ms throttle still applies.searchDebounceMs={0}invokes the search callback on every keystroke (vs. coalescing to leading + trailing edges).Net effect: prompts that filter against in-memory choices feel instant; remote/paginated consumers see no behavior change unless they opt in.
