46e6aa7c77 Improve link pattern parsing to trim punctuation wrappers (#45457)
Closes # (none)

## Summary

Improved the jump-to-definition reliability for file paths in prose
strings (comments, markdown, etc.) by smarter stripping of surrounding
punctuation.

This allows `cmd/ctrl-click` to work on file paths in contexts like:
- **Markdown backticks**: `` `path/to/file` ``
- **Markdown links**: `[link](path/to/file)`
- **Parentheses**: `(see path/to/file)`
- **Sentence endings**: `Check path/to/file.`
- **Code spans**: `` `cat path/to/file` ``

## Technical Details

- Updated `link_pattern_file_candidates` in `hover_links.rs` to
iteratively trim common leading and trailing punctuation characters.
- Candidate generation now produces multiple variations (trimmed, regex
match, raw) ordered by specificity (most trimmed first).
- Refactored `test_hover_filenames` to be DRY: it now uses a single base
document string and targeted replacements, making it easier to add new
prose test cases without duplication.

Release Notes:

- Improved jump-to-definition reliability for file paths wrapped in
punctuation (backticks, parens, sentence endings).

Licensing

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.

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.

If you’d like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue. There are no perks or entitlements associated with sponsorship.
