usage_rs::completion::Completion::run writes the completion script and the --install report to one writer. The docs example passes stdout, so a tool that copies it prints installed /path and already up to date: /path on stdout. usage generate completion --install keeps stdout empty and reports on stderr, so the two paths disagreed. Pitchfork's adoption inherits the stdout behavior. Raised in #1623.

This adds Completion::run_split (and run_split_in for tests), which takes a second writer for the install report:

completion.run_split("ex", &mut std::io::stdout(), &mut std::io::stderr())?;

• ex completion fish prints only the script on stdout, so it is safe to pipe or redirect.
• ex completion fish --install leaves stdout empty and reports on stderr, like usage generate completion --install.

run and run_in are unchanged, because changing where they write would break a published API. The docs example now uses run_split, and V8.md records making that the behavior of run in the next major release. A new test checks that the script goes to out and the report to report.

Tested with cargo test -p usage-rs --all-features for the completion tests and doctests.

Note

Low Risk
Additive public API with unchanged run/run_in semantics; low risk beyond adopters opting into run_split.

Overview
Adds Completion::run_split / run_split_in so embedders can send the completion script to one writer (e.g. stdout) and the --install status report to another (e.g. stderr), matching usage generate completion --install and keeping piping safe.

Refactors run_in through a private render + Rendered type; run / run_in still write everything to the single out sink, so existing callers are unchanged.

Documentation: docs/rust/completions.md uses run_split in the example and explains stdout/stderr behavior; V8.md records a future breaking change: either route install reports to stderr in run or drop the single-writer form.

Tests: a unix test asserts script-only on out and report on report for run_split_in, with install still writing the file correctly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Completion commands can write generated scripts and installation reports to separate output streams. Existing commands continue to write both kinds of output to a single writer.
  • Added options for directing script output and installation reports to separate writers.

• Documentation

  • Updated the completion example and guidance to demonstrate separate output streams and clarify where scripts and installation reports are written.

Walkthrough

Completion adds methods that accept separate writers for generated scripts and installation reports. Rendering returns output text with an indicator for its type. Documentation and a Unix test describe and check the split output behavior.

Changes: Completion output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Render scripts and installation reports usage-rs/src/completion.rs	Rendering returns the script or installation report as text and marks which type of output it produced.
Route and document split output usage-rs/src/completion.rs, docs/rust/completions.md, V8.md	run_split and run_split_in accept separate writers for script output and installation reports. A Unix test checks the output routing. The documentation example uses the split-writer API, and the breaking-change note describes the related API change.

Check the installed file in the split-output test.

A run_split_in regression could report an installation without writing the script, and this test would still pass. Compare the installed file with the generated script.

Test run_split with --install.

The test calls only run_split_in, so it cannot detect a regression in run_split that sends the report to out. Add a test that calls run_split with separate writers in an isolated process environment and checks both outputs.
