Previously, inserting text right before a mention (@user) would remove
the link attribute, breaking the mention. This was because the
intersection check in shouldChangeTextIn would trigger and remove the
link for any edit that touched the link boundary.
Added a new condition to handle insertion at the left edge of a link
separately, similar to the existing handling for the right edge. This
allows users to type before a mention without breaking it.
Added UI test that creates a real mention via autocomplete selection,
then verifies text can be typed before it without corrupting the
mention. The test uses predicate-based waits for reliability and
properly marks the UserView as an accessibility element. Link attribute
preservation is verified in unit tests.
