* feat(browser): let Shift invert link routing instead of always forcing the system browser Shift+Cmd/Ctrl-click has always meant "open in the system browser", which is a no-op when that is already where links go. Users who keep Link Routing off have had no gesture to pull a single link into Orca's built-in browser. Adds "Hold Shift to open in ___", a nested toggle under Link Routing that makes the modifier open a link the opposite way from the setting. It ships off, so the one-way escape hatch is unchanged for every existing user. The title and description name the destination the modifier actually reaches and flip with the parent setting, since "the opposite" is meaningless on its own. - openHttpLink gains modifierHeld; resolveModifierRouting owns the decision so every surface (terminal URLs, OSC 8, xterm web links, markdown preview) routes identically. forceSystemBrowser stays for callers that must bypass settings. - The terminal hover hint names Orca when the modifier would open there, and is re-resolved per hover so toggling applies without recreating panes. - Link Routing's own copy drops "always uses your system browser", which the new toggle can falsify; the nested row states the live destination instead. * fix(browser): route the Checks panel hosted-review link through the shared modifier The "Open on GitHub" button had its own Shift+Cmd/Ctrl escape hatch that passed forceSystemBrowser directly, so it kept the old one-way behavior while every other surface honored the invert setting. Route it through modifierHeld like the terminal and markdown paths. Also wraps the modifier row's description in translate(); the title in the same file was localized but the description returned raw English (caught in review). * fix(browser): make link-routing modifier copy true in every state Review follow-ups on the Shift-inverts-routing change. - The nested row promised "⇧⌘+click opens one in Orca" in the present tense while its own toggle was off, so the out-of-box state described behavior the user did not have. Phrase it as enabled-state copy, matching sibling rows. - The parent Link Routing description gained "opens a link the other way", which is false in the default state and contradicts the child row when inverting is on. No fixed sentence there is true in every state, so the child row — which knows the live destination — now owns the claim. That leaves getBrowserLinkRoutingShortcutLabel unused, so drop it. - The rich markdown editor still forced the system browser while the preview of the same file honored the modifier, so one link routed two ways depending on which view it was clicked in. - A remote runtime pins every link to the system browser, so the hover hint could promise Orca for a click that lands elsewhere. Gate the hint on the same condition openHttpLink uses. - Index both modifier titles: the search entry is built with openLinksInApp false, so the row was unfindable by the title it renders when routing is on. - Drop the ariaLabel that shared no words with the visible label (WCAG 2.5.3) and add the four missing settings-search keyword keys to all five catalogs. * test(editor): pin the rich markdown Shift+click routing hop The editor half of the modifier fix had no coverage — reverting it to forceSystemBrowser left the suite green while the same link routed one way in the markdown preview and the other way in the rich editor. Also pins that a non-local source owner survives the hop, since that is what keeps an SSH file's links out of Orca's browser. * test(editor): cover the Ctrl chord for rich markdown link routing This file is the only test of handleRichMarkdownEditorClick, and it exercised metaKey alone, so the isMac branch of modKey had no coverage off macOS. Also stop claiming the source-owner case proves SSH links stay out of Orca — it proves the owner survives the hop; http-link-routing.test.ts enforces the rest. * style: trim review comments to the one-line house rule Both explained the change adequately in two lines; the extra lines were worked examples, not information. * fix(browser): keep Link Routing copy unchanged until inverting is enabled Removing the "⇧⌘-click always uses your system browser" sentence outright reworded the row for every user on upgrade, including everyone who never turns the opt-in on. Restore it verbatim in the default state and only hand the chord sentence to the nested row once inverting makes "always" untrue. * revert(editor): keep rich markdown Shift+click on the system browser Per Brennan: the editor's Shift path hands the link to the client OS and should not follow the invert setting — the preview opening in Orca is the intended divergence, not a bug. Restores main's call exactly; the test now pins the divergence so a future consistency pass cannot erase it silently. * fix(browser): surface the inverted modifier on the hosted-review link The hosted-review click path now passes modifierHeld, so with inverting on and Link Routing off the chord opens in Orca — but the hint stayed gated on openLinksInApp, hiding a live gesture. Resolve the destination instead of a boolean. Default-off output is unchanged. * test(browser): pin the inert modifier hint when links already open in Orca * refactor(terminal): require the pane link hint so dropping the wiring fails to build The optional option fell back to a duplicated copy of the legacy hint string, so deleting the hook wiring reverted the tooltip silently with every test green. * fix(browser): trim the runtime id before hiding the hosted-review modifier hint openHttpLink and terminalUrlOpenHintOptionsFor both trim, so a blank runtime id hid the hint while the click still reached Orca.
