Owner

Bare autolink URLs such as * http://www.g.com disappear in live-preview edit
mode because the rich-editor plugin hides all URL syntax tokens, including
standalone autolinks outside [label](url) syntax.

Problem

In live preview, tokenHidden applies cm-formatting-hidden to every URL
node. Bare external autolinks are entirely represented by that token, so the link
text is removed on inactive lines. Task-link overlay hiding is unrelated and
already scoped to task wikilinks only.

Goal

Keep bare external autolink URLs visible in live preview while continuing to
hide URL destination tokens inside [label](url) markdown links.

Scope

packages/plugins/plugin-markdown/src/lib/codemirror-extensions/rich-editor/index.ts
Unit and e2e regression coverage
spec/src/30-cross-package-contracts/editor-and-views.md

Non-goals

Changing task-link overlay behavior
Rendering bare autolinks as inline widgets instead of authored syntax

Acceptance Criteria

Inactive live-preview lines with * http://www.g.com show the URL text with
external-link styling
[Example](https://example.com) still hides the destination URL on inactive
lines while keeping the label visible
Unit and e2e tests cover the regression

Implementation Notes

Skip cm-formatting-hidden for bare external URL nodes where
parent?.name !== "Link" using the same condition as the existing
cm-external-link decoration pass.
