+/**
+ * Integration tests for the complete file mention workflow
+ * These tests simulate the actual user flow when selecting files from the list
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BACKSLASH ESCAPING IN TESTS:
+ * ================================================
+ * The escaping of spaces in file paths is a multi-level process:
+ *
+ * 1. In JavaScript strings, a single backslash must be written as "\\".
+ *    So to represent "\" in the string, we write it as "\\".
+ *
+ * 2. When we want to escape a space in a path, we use "\ " (backslash + space).
+ *    But in JavaScript code, this must be written as "\\ ".
+ *
+ * 3. Our escaping pipeline has two phases:
+ *    - First in convertToMentionPath: spaces -> "\ "
+ *    - Then in insertMention: "\ " -> "\\ "
+ *
+ * 4. Due to this multi-level escaping, paths in our expect() statements
+ *    contain four backslashes "\\\\" for each escaped space.
+ *
+ *    This is NOT a bug but the expected behavior:
+ *    - In JS, "\\\\" represents two literal backslashes "\\"
+ *    - When the string is processed, these become the actual double escape
+ *      that's displayed to the user in their editor
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * - Original path: "/docs/file with spaces.txt"
+ * - After convertToMentionPath: "@/docs/file\ with\ spaces.txt"
+ * - After insertMention: "@/docs/file\\ with\\ spaces.txt"
+ * - In test code expect(): "...@/docs/file\\\\ with\\\\ spaces.txt..."

+ * 1. JavaScript string escaping:

+ *    - For example, "C:\\path\\file.txt" represents the path "C:\path\file.txt".
+ *
+ * 2. Path normalization:
+ *    - Windows backslashes are converted to forward slashes.
+ *    - "C:\\path\\file.txt" becomes "C:/path/file.txt".
+ *
+ * 3. Space escaping:
+ *    - When a path contains spaces, we escape them with backslashes.
+ *    - "path/file with spaces.txt" becomes "path/file\ with\ spaces.txt".
+ *    - In code, this looks like: "path/file\\ with\\ spaces.txt".
+ *
+ * 4. Multiple escaping:
+ *    - For paths that already contain escaped spaces, the escaping gets doubled.
+ *    - A path with already escaped spaces like "path/file\ with\ spaces.txt"
+ *      (which in code is "path/file\\ with\\ spaces.txt")
+ *      gets double-escaped to "path/file\\ with\\ spaces.txt"
+ *      (which in code is "path/file\\\\ with\\\\ spaces.txt").
+ *
+ * The tests in this file verify these complex escaping behaviors, which may appear
+ * confusing at first glance but are necessary to ensure proper handling of paths
+ * with spaces across the application.
