Install Easy Complete and approve Accessibility, then quit the terminal completely — macOS loads input methods when a process starts, so a reopened window is not enough.
ec doctor reports the shell hook and the input method separately, so it tells you which half is missing.
exec $SHELL ec doctor
One process, many windows
Because Kitty keeps a single kitty process alive behind all its OS windows, re-registering the input method has no effect until that process actually exits.
If suggestions are misaligned after an update, quit Kitty with ⌘Q — not just the window — and reopen it.

Kitty tabs, splits, and shell state
Each Kitty window, tab, and split runs its own shell, so each one reports its own working directory and edit buffer. Suggestions follow whichever pane has focus.
If one split has completions and another does not, the second shell started before Easy Complete was running — reload it.
exec $SHELL
