mTvareandKirill Bulatov 200fb85c90 language: Fix incomplete bracket matches during error recovery (#61604)
Closes #61410

## Summary

Tree-sitter bracket queries can become incomplete when recovering from
syntax errors. The existing code handled incorrect matches by collecting
the delimiters returned by the query and pairing them again in order.

The query missed the innermost closing parenthesis. The repair therefore
worked on an incomplete sequence, paired the innermost opening
parenthesis with the next available close, and shifted every remaining
pair outward.

## Solution

This change records the syntax-node kinds used by each bracket pattern
and, when a syntax layer contains errors, checks the concrete leaves
inside those error nodes for delimiters missing from the query output.

When the opening and closing kinds are different and the error range
remains balanced, the missing delimiters are included in the existing
reconstruction.

## Testing

Reproduced the issue using the C snippet from #22679 and verified that
each parenthesis is matched with its correctly nested partner.
Also verified that unbalanced code does not cause the recovery logic to
invent a missing bracket pair.

## How to Review

The relevant changes are in `BufferSnapshot::fetch_bracket_ranges` in
`crates/language/src/buffer.rs`.

The important distinction is between the bracket-query output and the
concrete syntax leaves inside an error node. Previously, the repair
could only rearrange delimiters present in the query output. It can now
detect when that output is incomplete, add the missing real delimiters,
and run the existing reconstruction over the complete set.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
