+# Summary: Programmable completion for backtunnel-share and backtunnel-access.
+# Description:
+#   Provides contextual tab-completion for BackTunnel CLI tools, including positional
+#   scaffolding ("with"/"from", "for", duration suggestions), @profile expansion,
+#   SSH host suggestions from known_hosts and ~/.ssh/config, key-name and *.pub completion,
+#   and directory completion for mount paths.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   - Source in your shell (for current session):
+#       source /path/to/backtunnel.bash
+#   - Install system-wide or in your completion.d directory (auto-sourced by bash-completion).
+#
+# Dependencies:
+#   - bash with programmable completion (bash-completion recommended)
+#   - awk (for profile parsing)
+#
+# Compatibility:
+#   - Targets Bash completion v1 (COMP_WORDS, COMPREPLY, compgen, compopt).
+#
+# Notes:
+#   - Reads profiles from ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/backtunnel/profiles.ini,
+#     /etc/backtunnel/profiles.ini, and /usr/share/backtunnel/profiles.ini when present.

+# Summary: Mount a local folder exposed via a reverse SSH tunnel (SFTP over sshfs).
+# Description:
+#   Connects to a reverse SSH listener on the remote host's loopback (localhost:PORT),
+#   and mounts the specified local folder from the sharing side using sshfs.
+#   Performs basic checks (mountpoint readiness, auth hint, SFTP visibility) and
+#   sets sensible reconnect/keepalive options for a stable mount.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   backtunnel-access /path/to/folder from remoteuser:remotehost [-p PORT] [-m MOUNTPOINT]
+#
+# Examples:
+#   backtunnel-access ~/projects from alice@vps.example.com -p 2222 -m ~/remote-rssh
+#   backtunnel-access /data from bob:vps.example.com --port 4422 --mount-point /mnt/remote-rssh

+#   0  success
+#   1  invalid usage/arguments or validation failure (e.g., mountpoint not writable)
+#   2+ runtime errors from underlying tools (sshfs/sftp/etc.)
+#
+# Notes:
+#   - Expects a reverse tunnel to be active on the remote side, binding localhost:PORT
+#     back to the sharer’s local sshd.
+#   - If passwordless auth isn’t set for $REMOTE_USER@localhost:$PORT, a one-time
+#     setup command is suggested; mount may still proceed with password prompts.

+#   Prints an optional “invite” command that the remote side can run to mount a given local folder over SFTP
+#   using a companion tool. Optionally and temporarily adds a restricted public key entry to authorized_keys,
+#   scoped to localhost and internal-sftp only, and removes it on exit.
+#
+# Usage:
