Summary

The core library now detects :~:text= text fragment links next to numeric RangeLinks. One call to findLinksInText returns both kinds, each with its own range. The extension keeps compiling, because both link providers drop fragment links before they build link objects.

Changes

  • Text fragment detection: findLinksInText runs a fragment pass before the unquoted and quoted passes, and the fragment pass claims its spans. The unquoted pass skips a match that overlaps a claimed span. A fragment link therefore never yields a second, briefer numeric link.
  • Bare-path guard: the file-path pattern stops at a fragment marker. A path prefix such as ./src/a.ts in ./src/a.ts:~:text=foo stays with the fragment pass and never underlines as a bare path.
  • Types: DetectedLink.parsed becomes ParsedLink | ParsedTextFragment. The two kinds discriminate on 'directive' in parsed. The new ParsedLinkBase holds the path and quotedPath fields that ParsedLink extends.
  • Package wiring: rangelink-core-ts declares text-fragment-ts as a workspace dependency. The change carries the TypeScript project reference, the jest module mapping, and the lockfile entry.
  • Extension compile fix: both link providers drop fragment links before they build link objects. Fragment links stay inert until the navigation phase. The TODO names issue 758 and a due date.
  • Logging: the completion log gains textFragmentCandidates and textFragmentParseFailures.
  • Documentation: ARCHITECTURE.md gains the core-to-codec dependency edge. The core and packages READMEs describe the new dependency. No CHANGELOG entry, because the extension behavior does not change.

Key Discoveries

  • The extension narrows the union instead of showing a fragment tooltip. The tooltip belongs to the next phase. The narrowing uses the directive check alone, so no extension file imports text-fragment-ts.
  • The reference branch issues/749-mess-with-everything is older than main in places. Its diff therefore carries phantom reverts, such as a test-helper downgrade. This branch takes the named hunks only.
  • The src/__tests__/** exclude stays in the core tsconfig. The text-fragment-ts package already proves that a project reference works beside that line, so src/jestMatchers.d.ts stays too.

Test Plan

  • All existing tests pass
  • New tests added for: the fragment pass, the claimed-range skip, the coexistence fixture, the file-path guard, and one skipped-fragment case per extension provider
  • Manual testing: not applicable — this phase changes no extension behavior

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Text containing text-fragment links is now recognized alongside numeric RangeLinks. Detection handles multiple fragments and quoted paths, avoids matching web URLs, and prevents fragment links from being mistaken for file paths or overlapping numeric links.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Text-fragment links are excluded from document and terminal navigation, while regular RangeLinks continue to work.
  • Documentation
    • Updated package and architecture documentation to clarify runtime dependency details and text-fragment support.

## Summary

The core library now detects `:~:text=` text fragment links next to numeric RangeLinks. One call to `findLinksInText` returns both kinds, each with its own range. The extension keeps compiling, because both link providers drop fragment links before they build link objects.

## Changes

- Text fragment detection: `findLinksInText` runs a fragment pass before the unquoted and quoted passes, and the fragment pass claims its spans. The unquoted pass skips a match that overlaps a claimed span. A fragment link therefore never yields a second, briefer numeric link.
- Bare-path guard: the file-path pattern stops at a fragment marker. A path prefix such as `./src/a.ts` in `./src/a.ts:~:text=foo` stays with the fragment pass and never underlines as a bare path.
- Types: `DetectedLink.parsed` becomes `ParsedLink | ParsedTextFragment`. The two kinds discriminate on `'directive' in parsed`. The new `ParsedLinkBase` holds the `path` and `quotedPath` fields that `ParsedLink` extends.
- Package wiring: `rangelink-core-ts` declares `text-fragment-ts` as a workspace dependency. The change carries the TypeScript project reference, the jest module mapping, and the lockfile entry.
- Extension compile fix: both link providers drop fragment links before they build link objects. Fragment links stay inert until the navigation phase. The TODO names issue 758 and a due date.
- Logging: the completion log gains `textFragmentCandidates` and `textFragmentParseFailures`.
- Documentation: `ARCHITECTURE.md` gains the core-to-codec dependency edge. The core and packages READMEs describe the new dependency. No CHANGELOG entry, because the extension behavior does not change.

## Key Discoveries

- The extension narrows the union instead of showing a fragment tooltip. The tooltip belongs to the next phase. The narrowing uses the directive check alone, so no extension file imports `text-fragment-ts`.
- The reference branch `issues/749-mess-with-everything` is older than `main` in places. Its diff therefore carries phantom reverts, such as a test-helper downgrade. This branch takes the named hunks only.
- The `src/__tests__/**` exclude stays in the core tsconfig. The `text-fragment-ts` package already proves that a project reference works beside that line, so `src/jestMatchers.d.ts` stays too.

## Test Plan

- [ ] All existing tests pass
- [ ] New tests added for: the fragment pass, the claimed-range skip, the coexistence fixture, the file-path guard, and one skipped-fragment case per extension provider
- [ ] Manual testing: not applicable — this phase changes no extension behavior

Walkthrough

Core now detects text-fragment links alongside numeric RangeLinks. The VS Code document and terminal providers exclude text-fragment links from their navigation results. Documentation and tests describe and validate the integration.

Changes

Text-fragment detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fragment types and codec integration

Core adds ParsedLinkBase and allows DetectedLink.parsed to hold either parsed numeric-link or text-fragment data. Core adds the text-fragment-ts workspace dependency and project and Jest mappings. The documentation describes the dependency relationship and no-third-party-runtime-dependencies principle.
Text-fragment detection and overlap handling

Core detects and parses text-fragment links before unquoted links. It passes occupied ranges to the unquoted-link pass, logs candidate and parse-failure counts, and excludes text-fragment suffixes from file-path matches. Tests cover detection, overlap, parsing failures, cancellation, and path coexistence.
Exclude fragments from navigation
packages/rangelink-vscode-extension/src/navigation/*, packages/rangelink-vscode-extension/src/__tests__/navigation/*
The document and terminal providers filter parsed text-fragment links before creating navigation results. Tests check that ordinary links remain and scan logs count both detected links.

Explanation

Issue #756 is open and directly linked. The PR implements codec parsing, fragment detection, occupied-range protection, path guarding, type updates, dependency wiring, and focused tests. The reviewed changes do not provide fragment-link formatting or a fragment tooltip. Both extension providers explicitly filter fragment links, and the TODOs defer tooltip and navigation work. The test checklist is unchecked, so a green pnpm test result and the coverage target are not established.

A rabbit finds a fragment trail,
Beside numeric links they lie.
The parser marks each occupied span,
While prose commas pass on by.
Two navigation paths keep links in view,
And carrots wait beneath the moon.

- Line 18: Update the fragment-value parsing in detectTextFragments so it
identifies the directive boundary from surrounding context rather than accepting
closing wrapper punctuation or a trailing prose period as part of the value.
Preserve valid parentheses within a term while excluding punctuation that
surrounds the fragment.
- Line 30: Update the fragment detection pattern using PATH_CHAR so quoted paths
with spaces are matched in full, preserving the fragment’s complete source range
and passing the raw path to the codec. Ensure the fragment pass handles these
quoted text fragments rather than relying on the quoted fallback that only calls
parseLink for numeric links.

The greedy value run in the text fragment pass ran past the link into the prose around it, so a closing paren or a sentence period became part of the directive term, and a trailing comma made the candidate unparseable, which silently dropped a link that was really in the text. A quoted fragment link failed as well: the path pattern cannot match a space and the closing quote is a legal value character, so the path lost its first segment and the term gained a stray quote.

The fragment pass now trims the punctuation that surrounds a candidate while keeping parens that balance inside a term, and a quoted sub-pass claims a quoted fragment link as one span before the unquoted pattern runs.

Benefits:
- A fragment link in prose yields the link alone, matching the punctuation convention the numeric passes already freeze
- A fragment link whose path holds a space detects correctly, so the quoted shape RangeLink emits for such a path survives the round trip
