[nitpick] The condition change from > 1 to > 0 means details will now always be shown when they exist, even for single options. This could clutter the display unnecessarily. Consider if this change aligns with the intended UX behavior.

Suggested change
if len(filteredOptions) > 0 && len(item.Detail) > 0 {
if len(filteredOptions) > 1 && len(item.Detail) > 0 {

When matching on detail, the full option string is returned without adjusting the offset. This means the completion will include the entire option text, potentially overwriting the user's input. The offset should be set to 0 when returning the full option.

Suggested change
options = append(options, []rune(option))
options = append(options, []rune(option))
offset = 0
