Logan Johnson 44d19f59a5 fix(desktop): preserve spacing after multi-word mentions (#7128)
🤖

## Summary

In Buzz Desktop, choosing a multi-word name and immediately continuing a
sentence could swallow the space after the mention: `Hey @Alice
Chenhello`. This keeps the separator, so the same action produces `Hey
@Alice Chen hello` without moving the caret or repairing the name by
hand.

The editor recognizes the complete selected label, including its
internal spaces, and settles the autocomplete caret after the trailing
separator. Deliberately moving left or clicking inside the label still
lets you edit there; this is not a rule that forces every caret to the
end of a mention.

### Testing

Select an existing member named Alice Chen, then type `hello`
immediately. Repeat after ArrowLeft or clicking inside the mention:
typing should follow your chosen caret position.

Mock-browser captures, not live remote-agent evidence:

#### Immediate typing preserves the separator
Choosing the complete label then typing produces `Hey @Alice Chen
hello`.

#### Deliberate caret movement is respected
After ArrowLeft, typing edits at the chosen caret rather than forcing
the caret back beyond the separator.

#### Evidence and limitations

**5,801 desktop tests**, **45 focused editor tests**, both new browser
regressions, the browser-test build and static/type/size checks passed.
[Applicable CI
passed](https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/33421534320).

The broader browser run had **132 passes / 6 failures**: two
clipboard-origin setup failures and four generic caret-formatting
failures also reproduced on unchanged main. Full local `just ci` stopped
at three native timing/probe failures; a same-head native rerun passed
**3,005 tests** with 18 existing ignores. This is not a full local-CI
pass. The change fixes insertion and caret behavior, not duplicate-name
recipient selection, discovery or invitation.
