## Context This follow-up was inspired by Christopher’s suggestion in the review comment on #58483: long filenames should truncate in the middle so both the beginning and the suffix/extension remain visible. Previously, very long filenames in picker rows could still be clipped or end-truncated, making files with shared prefixes hard to distinguish. This adds middle-truncation support to GPUI text overflow and applies it to filename-focused picker surfaces: the tab switcher and the Ctrl-P file finder. Normal editor tab bar behavior remains unchanged and continues to use the existing title length cap. ## How to Review - **`crates/gpui/src/style.rs`, `crates/gpui/src/styled.rs`, `crates/gpui/src/elements/text.rs`, `crates/gpui/src/text_system/line_wrapper.rs`**: Adds `TextOverflow::TruncateMiddle`, wires it through text layout, and implements middle truncation while preserving valid text runs. Very narrow widths now show the truncation affix instead of falling back to the abruptly clipped original text. - **`crates/ui/src/components/label/label_like.rs`, `crates/ui/src/components/label/label.rs`, `crates/ui/src/components/label/highlighted_label.rs`**: Exposes middle truncation through the shared label components. - **`crates/workspace/src/item.rs`, `crates/editor/src/items.rs`, `crates/workspace/src/pane.rs`, `crates/tab_switcher/src/tab_switcher.rs`**: Adds an explicit tab-content opt-in for middle truncation. The tab switcher enables it, while the normal tab bar and dragged tabs keep their existing behavior. - **`crates/file_finder/src/file_finder.rs`**: Applies middle truncation to Ctrl-P file finder filenames and lets the path shrink from the start so long paths do not hide important filename suffixes.
