  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

expandPastedTextPlaceholders re-inflates a [Pasted ~N lines] placeholder with result.replace(marker, part.text). When the second argument is a string, replace treats $ sequences in it as patterns, so pasted text containing $$, $&, $`, or $' came back changed. $& was the worst case: it re-inserted the placeholder string itself into the user's code.

Passing a function instead (() => part.text) inserts the text verbatim.

The "open editor" command had its own copy of the old loop, so I pointed it at the same helper. The submit path was already safe (it uses the range-based expandTrackedPastedText).

How did you verify your code works?

Added tests in packages/tui/test/prompt/part.test.ts for $$, $&, $`, $', a repeated placeholder, and a non-pasted part. They fail on the old code and pass with the fix. The tui test suite has no new failures and tsgo --noEmit is clean.

Screenshots / recordings

Not a UI change.

Checklist

  • I have tested my changes locally
  • I have not included unrelated changes in this PR

result.replace with a string replacement treated $ sequences in pasted
text ($$, $&, $`, $') as patterns, corrupting pasted code when expanding
[Pasted ~N lines] placeholders for clipboard copy and the editor. Use a
function replacement so the text is inserted verbatim, and route the
editor command through the same helper.

A pasted [Pasted ~N lines] placeholder in the prompt can now be
expanded to its full content and collapsed back -- click it, or run
"Expand/collapse pasted text" (prompt.paste.toggle) from the palette
or a keybind.

Ported from upstream anomalyco#8501 (325 reactions -- the
highest of any issue found across a full survey of this repo's open
issues). A trivial 1-file fix already merged upstream as anomalyco#39920 isn't
even on this fork's history and is a one-way, no-collapse expand
anyway, not the real ask. Richer attempts were all closed by the
automated PR-cleanup bot and never reviewed:

- PR anomalyco#41813 "paste expand toggle" is the primary source: a pasted-
  text part remembers its original placeholder so it can collapse
  again, the chip is swapped by deleting its extmark, replacing the
  selected text, and recreating the extmark over the new text.
- PR anomalyco#33700 fixed a real, separate bug reused as-is:
  expandPastedTextPlaceholders substituted text back in via
  String.replace(str, str2), which treats $&/$$/etc. in the pasted
  text as special replacement patterns and silently corrupts it --
  fixed by passing a replacer function instead of a literal string.
- PR anomalyco#37052 contributed only the idea of a palette command to expand
  chips (its own version was one-way, expand-all); this fork's
  version is a proper per-chip toggle.

New: older saved prompts with no stored placeholder can still be
expanded (anomalyco#41813's version would lock them collapsed-only). Two pure
functions (togglePastedText, replaceVirtualExtmarkText) were extracted
into packages/tui/src/prompt/part.ts so anomalyco#41813's logic is unit-
testable outside the full Prompt component.

Known gaps: the full Prompt component's mouse-click path has no
automated test (no existing fixture mounts it with SDK/sync/route
providers -- checked manually against a bare textarea instead);
clicking a chip's very last character can miss the same way it does
in anomalyco#41813; an expanded chip is viewable but not editable in place.

New tests in packages/tui/test/prompt/part.test.ts and a new
packages/tui/test/prompt/paste-toggle.test.tsx (using this repo's
existing testRender/mockMouse helpers). Verified against this fork's
current dev (not just the agent's own stale worktree base): bun
typecheck clean; full packages/tui suite 215 pass.
