DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 68b7852cd1 fix(ui): keep another company's prefix on task links in markdown (#21026)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Chat replies, comments and documents render Markdown through
`MarkdownBody`. Task links in that Markdown become company-aware links
> - `parseIssueReferenceFromHref` turned every task link into an
unprefixed `/issues/<id>` path. The router then added the viewer's
active company prefix
> - In chat-eval cohort 4 (`access.other-company`), a reply in company
COM linked `/BIR/issues/BIR-1`. The chat rendered it as
`/COM/issues/BIR-1`, which points into the wrong company
> - This pull request keeps the company that a task link names: an
explicit `/BIR/issues/...` prefix, or an identifier whose prefix belongs
to a known company
> - The benefit is that a link to another company's task opens that
company's task, not a same-numbered task or an error in the current
company

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A chat reply in company COM contained `[BIR-1](/BIR/issues/BIR-1)`. The
rendered link pointed to `/COM/issues/BIR-1`.

**Expected behavior**
A task link that names a company keeps that company: `/BIR/issues/BIR-1`
stays `/BIR/issues/BIR-1`. A bare `BIR-1` or `/issues/BIR-1` goes to BIR
when BIR is a company that the viewer knows.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have two companies, COM and BIR.
2. In a COM chat or comment, render the Markdown
`[BIR-1](/BIR/issues/BIR-1)`.
3. Inspect the link. Its `href` is `/COM/issues/BIR-1`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at f1aef0cb58.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/lib/issue-reference.ts`: a new `issueHref` builds the internal
link. It keeps the company prefix of an explicit `/PREFIX/issues/...`
path. When the path has no prefix, it uses the identifier's prefix if
that prefix is in the known company prefixes. Otherwise the link stays
`/issues/<id>` and resolves in the active company, as before.
- `ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.tsx`: passes the known company
prefixes to the explicit-link path too (the auto-link path already had
them).
- Tests: a red/green unit test with the recorded shape in
`issue-reference.test.ts`, and a rendered test in
`MarkdownBody.test.tsx` (COM and BIR known; explicit, bare and
unprefixed BIR links all render `/BIR/issues/BIR-1`). Existing
expectations that asserted the stripped `/issues/<id>` form now assert
the company-prefixed form.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts src/lib/company-routes.test.ts`: 105
tests pass.
- Red/green: with `issue-reference.ts` and `MarkdownBody.tsx` from
`origin/master`, the new tests fail (`/issues/BIR-1` instead of
`/BIR/issues/BIR-1`). With the change, they pass.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `tsc -p ui/tsconfig.json` reports
only existing errors in
`ui/storybook/support/feature-map/FeatureOverview.tsx`, which this
change does not touch.
- A paid chat-eval run with this change is linked in a comment below.

## Risks

- Same-company links now carry the explicit prefix (`/COM/issues/COM-1`
instead of `/issues/COM-1` resolved to the same place). The route is the
same.
- An explicit link with a bare identifier as its target (`[x](JIRA-2)`)
is now gated by known company prefixes like auto-linked text. Such a
link to a non-Paperclip key stays an ordinary link.
- Low risk otherwise: no API, data or saved state changes.

## Model Used
