Review Summary
Great work on implementing the autocomplete component! The core functionality is solid, but one of the checklist requirements was missed, so I'm requesting a change.
In src/Autocomplete.tsx, the filter function runs even if the user types only spaces. This goes against a specific requirement [CHECKLIST ITEM #1]. To fix this, you should trim() the input string before checking if it's empty.
As a suggestion for improvement, the debounce function is recreated on every render. You could optimize this by memoizing the debounced handler using useCallback to prevent unnecessary re-creations and improve performance.

This useEffect hook re-creates the debounce function on every render triggered by a query change. A more efficient approach would be to memoize the debounced handler using useCallback or useMemo. This would prevent creating a new function on every keystroke.

This condition does not prevent the filter from running when the input contains only spaces, which violates a checklist requirement. You should trim the input string before checking if it's empty. This violates checklist item #1: 'make sure that filter won't be called if user enred spaces only'.

Review Summary
Excellent work on this pull request! I am approving your solution as it successfully meets all the requirements from the task description and checklist. You've done a great job addressing the feedback from the previous review, especially by ensuring the filter doesn't run for space-only input. The code is clean, functional, and the overall implementation is solid. Keep up the great work!
