Allow escaped brackets inside labels.

For [a \[ https://app.t3.codes/threads/there/t1](https://example.com), LABEL stops at the escaped [. Escaped brackets are valid label content. (spec.commonmark.org)

Neither Markdown-link alternative claims the outer link. The bare-link alternative then rewrites the hosted URL inside its label and extracts an unrelated thread reference. The escape alternative cannot protect a link whose label scan already failed.

Consume escape pairs within LABEL, while continuing to stop at unescaped brackets. Add this input to the regression table.

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/threadLinks.ts at line 15:
Update the LABEL pattern in thread-link parsing to consume escaped character pairs, including escaped brackets, while still stopping at unescaped brackets and newlines. Add the provided escaped-bracket Markdown link as a regression-table case and verify it does not extract the hosted URL from inside the label.

Recognize destination whitespace before scanning inside a link.

CommonMark permits whitespace between the parentheses and the destination. (spec.commonmark.org)

For [ https://app.t3.codes/threads/there/t1 ]( https://example.com ), this alternative fails at the space after (. The bare-link alternative then rewrites the hosted URL inside the label and extracts a thread reference.

Accept optional destination whitespace, including trailing whitespace without a title. Add this form to the regression table.

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/threadLinks.ts at line 25:
Update the link-matching regular expression in the thread-link extraction logic to accept optional whitespace before the destination and optional trailing whitespace after it, including when no title is present. Preserve the existing destination and title matching behavior, and add the whitespace-delimited destination case to the regression table.

Check the surrounding URL, not only its preceding character.

For https://example.com/?q=(https://app.t3.codes/threads/there/t1), the preceding ( passes this boundary check. The matcher therefore rewrites the embedded hosted URL and extracts a thread reference.

Consume the surrounding URL before considering embedded hosted links. Keep standalone parenthesized hosted links eligible, as the existing regression case requires. Blocking every preceding ( would break that case.

Review comment at @packages/shared/src/threadLinks.ts at line 28:
Update the bare hosted-link matcher around HOSTED_LINK to detect when a candidate is embedded within a surrounding URL and avoid rewriting it or extracting a thread reference. Preserve eligibility for standalone parenthesized hosted links; do not solve this by rejecting every candidate preceded by an opening parenthesis.
