Preserved branch: queue/1485-1418-edge-space-mark — decision needed (merge / cherry-pick / drop)

Preserved branch from the laptop worktree cleanup of 2026-11-01.

Branch: queue/1485-1418-edge-space-mark
Verified HEAD on origin: d99b6dde9c766bdad3f65316ff6c8d8374180c60
Provenance: this branch holds work that existed only in a local worktree on the laptop (unique commits and/or a rescue commit of uncommitted work: "rescue: preserve uncommitted work from worktree cleanup 2026-11-01"). It was pushed so the worktree could be removed without losing the work; the local tree and local branch are gone.
Decision needed: merge it, cherry-pick from it, or drop the branch. Nothing else references it; this issue is the record of what it holds.

Findings (verified fresh against origin/main `8e76c6fa`, 2026-11-03)

The remote branch is gone: git ls-remote origin refs/heads/queue/1485-1418-edge-space-mark returns nothing. Per the issue, only the local worktree copy existed; nothing to preserve remotely ("do not delete the branch" is moot — already gone).
The fix landed via PR fix(id): hoist delimiter-mark edge spaces touched by word chars on save (#1418) #1510: fix(id): hoist delimiter-mark edge spaces touched by word chars on save (#1418) — state MERGED 2026-10-28, merge commit dd9eb9795, which is an ancestor of current main. All PR checks were green at merge (incl. rustfmt-check, clippy, test shards).
Landed code matches the preserved work: current main pkgs/id/src/web/markdown.rs contains hoist_delimiter_edge_spaces / hoist_one_edge with the #1418 comment — i.e. both preserved commits (fix ec2739dbe + rustfmt follow-up d99b6dde) are subsumed. (Exact SHAs differ due to squash/rebase at merge; content is present.)
No competing owner: no open PR references this work; the bug issue id(web): a marked span starting or ending with a space loses its mark on reopen when a word character touches it — saved   form cannot reparse #1418 is CLOSED (2026-10-28, by the merge). A follow-up in the same area (id(web): edge whitespace in text runs is written on save but stripped on reopen — a whitespace-only paragraph is deleted outright #1420/fix(id): normalize unmarked text-run edge whitespace at save (#1420) #1525, 7b09ac0b) also already landed.

Closing this issue as completed — the preserved branch served its purpose and its content is on main.
