fix: support link tag for pipe syntax

[kazupon]

🔗 Linked issue

🧭 Context

parseJsDocLinks (server/utils/docs/text.ts) parses {@link} tags using a regex that only splits target and label on whitespace:

/\{@link\s+([^\s}]+)(?:\s+([^}]+))?\}/g

This doesn't account for the TSDoc/TypeDoc {@link target | label} pipe syntax https://tsdoc.org/pages/tags/link/, which many packages use in their JSDoc comments. When a comment uses this form, the | character is captured as part of the label and leaks into the rendered link text

• e.g. {@link Command | entry command} renders as | entry command instead of entry command.
• reproduction: https://npmx.dev/package-docs/gunshi/v/0.37.3

📚 Description

Updated the {@link} parsing regex in parseJsDocLinks to treat | as an explicit label delimiter, in addition to the existing whitespace-only form:

- result.replace(/\{@link\s+([^\s}]+)(?:\s+([^}]+))?\}/g, (_, target, label) => {
+ result.replace(/\{@link\s+([^\s|}]+)(?:\s+(?:\|\s*)?([^}]+))?\}/g, (_, target, label) => {

The target capture group now excludes | so it isn't swallowed into the target name.
Backward compatible: {@link target}, {@link target label} (space-only), and {@link target | label} (pipe) all continue to work as before/expected.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved JSDoc link parsing to support both whitespace-separated and pipe-separated labels.
  • Pipe characters are no longer included in link targets when using pipe-separated labels.
  • Existing whitespace-separated label syntax continues to be recognised.
  • Added coverage to verify correct rendering of labels in generated links.

Walkthrough

The JSDoc link parser now supports labels separated from targets by whitespace or |. Tests cover pipe-separated labels and prevent generated labels from starting with |.
