Path suggestions sharing a priority showed up in filesystem order, so with fuzzy filtering `cd s` could list docs before src. Within a priority band, files and folders are now ranked by match quality (exact, prefix, substring), then shorter names, then alphabetically. Paths only swap places with other paths, so subcommands, options and spec suggestions keep their existing order.

Path suggestions that share a priority show up in filesystem order. With fuzzy filtering that gets noisy fast:
cd sin this repo listsdocsand.huskyahead ofsrc, and in my home dircd iputsIdeaProjects7th, past the default 5 visible.Within a priority band, files and folders are now ranked by:
Only paths are reordered, and only among themselves. Subcommands, options and spec-provided suggestions keep their current order, so things like
git stlook exactly like before. With nothing typed yet there's nothing to rank, so the order is left alone.cd snow givessrc, shell, scripts, docs, .husky, node_modules. I added that as a runtime test, andpathWithFileFilteredSuggestionchanges becauseshellIntegration.nunow beatsshellIntegration.bashon length.I first had this applied to every suggestion type, but that reshuffled subcommands and options in ways nobody asked for (and broke the
git ste2e snapshot), so I narrowed it to paths.
