## Background
Bare URLs containing `~` in their path are currently only clickable up
to the tilde in the interactive TUI. For example, Codex renders the
visible text for:
`https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/olin-shivers/dissertation.pdf`
but the OSC 8 destination stops at `https://www.cs.tufts.edu/`. This
makes Cmd-click open the wrong location even though the terminal
recognizes the complete URL outside Codex.
Fixes#26774.
## Root Cause
The URL scanner already accepts `~`. The truncation happens earlier:
with strikethrough parsing enabled, `pulldown-cmark` splits this URL
into adjacent decoded `Event::Text` values around the tilde. The
Markdown renderer annotated each text event independently, so only the
first event still looked like a complete URL with a supported scheme.
The renderer now merges adjacent decoded text events before URL
annotation. It preserves the combined source range while retaining
parser-decoded contents, which avoids regressing entities such as
`&`.
## Changes
- Add a small iterator that merges adjacent decoded Markdown text events
and their source ranges.
- Apply it at the Markdown renderer boundary before hyperlink detection.
- Add regression coverage for the reported URL in prose, wrapped table
output, and entity-decoded URLs.
## How to Test
1. Run Codex with `just c`.
2. Ask the assistant to output this exact bare URL with no Markdown link
syntax:
`https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/olin-shivers/dissertation.pdf`
3. Hold Cmd and hover or click the URL.
4. Confirm the complete URL, including the suffix after `~`, is one
destination.
5. Repeat with the URL inside a Markdown table and confirm wrapped
portions retain the same complete destination.
Targeted tests:
- `just test -p codex-tui url_with_tilde`
- `just test -p codex-tui merged_text_events_preserve_entity_decoding`
The full `codex-tui` test run was also executed. Its only failures were
the two existing Guardian feature-flag tests:
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default`
-
`app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
