[codex] Report markdown interaction failures

[juliusmarminge]

Summary

• report table and code clipboard failures with format/language context without logging copied content
• preserve exact causes and target paths for file open, path-copy, and context-menu failures
• distinguish link context-menu, integrated-preview, and external-browser operations while leaving cancellation and UI fallbacks unchanged

Verification

• vp check
• vp run typecheck

Note

Low Risk
Observability and error-handling only in chat markdown UI; success paths, cancellation handling, and user-facing toasts are preserved.

Overview
Adds reportMarkdownActionFailure in ChatMarkdown.tsx to log [chat-markdown] action failed with an operation label and contextual fields (paths, copy format, code language/fence title) while not logging clipboard payload content.

Clipboard: Table and code-block copy handlers no longer swallow errors; failures are logged with copy-table / copy-code-block context. File path copy failures also log copy-file-path before showing the existing error toast.

File links: Open-in-editor and open-in-browser flows wrap async work in try/catch, log failures with the target path, and still show the same error toasts; interrupted commands are unchanged. File link context menu errors are logged instead of failing silently.

External links: Link context menu handling is refactored to async/try/catch, with distinct operations for showing the menu, opening in integrated preview (logging only on real Failure, not interruption), and opening in the system browser.

Note

Report markdown interaction failures in chat with error logging and toasts

• Adds reportMarkdownActionFailure helper in ChatMarkdown.tsx that logs failures via console.error with a standardized prefix and context.
• Replaces silent catch blocks in MarkdownTable and MarkdownCodeBlock with calls to the new helper, so clipboard copy failures are now logged with operation context.
• MarkdownFileLink now wraps file open and copy operations in try/catch, reports failures via the helper, and shows error toasts on thrown errors.
• The external link context menu in ChatMarkdown now reports failures for menu display, preview opens, and external link opens instead of silently swallowing errors.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

This PR adds console error logging for markdown interaction failures for debugging purposes. The changes replace silent error swallowing with structured error reporting while preserving all existing user-facing behavior (toasts, error handling). This is a low-risk observability improvement.
