Vitaly Slobodin cd87307289 language: Fix language detection for injected syntax layers (#41111)
Closes #40632

**TL;DR:** The `wrap selections in tag` action was unavailable in ERB
files, even when the cursor was positioned in HTML content (outside of
Ruby code blocks). This happened because `syntax_layer_at()` incorrectly
returned the Ruby language for positions that were actually in HTML.
**NOTE:** I am not familiar with that part of Zed so it could be that
the fix here is completely incorrect.

Previously, `syntax_layer_at` incorrectly reported injected languages
(e.g., Ruby in ERB files) even when the cursor was in the base language
content (HTML). This broke actions like `wrap selections in tag` that
depend on language-specific configuration.

The issue had two parts:
1. Missing start boundary check: The filter only checked if a layer's
end was after the cursor (`end_byte() > offset`), not if it started
before, causing layers outside the cursor position to be included. See
the `BEFORE` video: when I click on the HTML part it reports `Ruby`
language instead of `HTML`.
2. Wrong boundary reference for injections: For injected layers with
`included_sub_ranges` (like Ruby code blocks in ERB), checking the root
node boundaries returned the entire file range instead of the actual
injection ranges.

This fix:
- Adds the containment check using half-open range semantics [start,
end) for root node boundaries. That ensures proper reporting of the
detected language when a cursor (`|`) is located right after the
injection:

   ```
   <body>
    <%= yield %>|
  </body>
   ```

- Checks `included_sub_ranges` for injected layers to determine if the
cursor is actually within an injection
- Falls back to root node boundaries for base layers without sub-ranges.
This is the original behavior.

Fixes ERB language support where actions should be available based on
the cursor's actual language context. I think that also applies to some
other template languages like HEEX (Phoenix) and `*.pug`. On short
videos below you can see how I navigate through the ERB template and the
terminal on the right outputs the detected language if you apply the
following patch:

Here is the ERB template:

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <style>
      /* Email styles need to be inline */
    </style>
  </head>

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
