Brooklyn Nicholson 045811f5be fix(context): keep @ref tokens inline instead of stripping them from the prompt
Expanding an @file:/@folder: reference deleted the token from the message
it was typed in, leaving a hole in the sentence and no anchor for clients
to chip. The attached context block still names each ref, so nothing is
lost by leaving the token where the user put it.
