fix(web): paths pasted after @ keep their underscores

[derektrimm]

Fixes #16413

Typing @ and pasting a path such as src/__test__.tsx ran the pasted text through inline markdown parsing. The __ pair became bold, so the composer showed src/ + bold test + .tsx, and the prompt text changed to @src/**test**.tsx. Sending without picking a suggestion gives the agent that path. The same happens to __tests__/, __init__.py and __main__.py.

The paste handler now checks whether the caret is in an @ path query. If it is, the pasted text up to the first whitespace continues that query and is inserted as plain text. Anything after it is parsed as before, so pasting src/__test__.tsx and **this** still makes this bold. Pastes outside a path query are unchanged.

Tests in composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts paste into a path query and check the document marks and the serialized prompt. They fail when either the query detection or the literal insertion is removed.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized web paste-parsing bug fix that preserves path text while continuing to support Markdown styling after the path, with targeted tests and no product-default or static-analysis changes. A Medium-severity edge case involving pastes after resolved inline mentions remains identified for follow-up.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pasted text that continues a path query now remains literal instead of being parsed as Markdown. Markdown parsing continues after the path text. Tests cover continuing and non-continuing path queries.

Changes

Path query paste handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Detect and preserve literal path text apps/web/src/composer-logic.ts, apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts	pastedPathQueryLength identifies the leading non-whitespace portion of pasted text when the text before the selection ends in a path trigger. buildTiptapContent preserves that portion as unstyled text and excludes it from segment splitting and block-syntax parsing.
Apply literal handling during paste apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx, apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.test.ts	The paste handler passes the literal prefix length to content building. Tests cover literal path text, Markdown following a path, line preservation, partially styled queries, and Markdown pasted after a mention chip.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e33bf

Pasted path text is preserved, but a later parent-driven update during an unfinished @ path can restore Markdown styling and affect the path’s presentation. This is a localized remaining risk; the ordinary paste echo is unaffected.
