feat: Add LSP hover support for Melquíades operator (|->)

- Add operator detection in cure_lsp_analyzer.erl
- Implement find_operator_at_position/3 to detect |-> at cursor
- Enhance hover info chain to pass text for operator detection
- Works with or without surrounding whitespace
- Add comprehensive test suite in lsp_melquiades_hover_test.erl
- Add documentation in docs/lsp-melquiades-operator-support.md

The LSP now provides rich hover documentation when users hover over
the Melquíades operator, including syntax, behavior, and target formats.
Named after the character from García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.

+# LSP Support for Melquíades Operator (`|->`)
+
+## Overview
+
+The Cure LSP now provides hover documentation for the Melquíades operator (`|->`), which is used to send messages asynchronously to GenServer processes.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Changes Made
+
+1. **Enhanced `cure_lsp_analyzer.erl`**:
+   - Added `find_operator_at_position/3` function to detect operators at cursor position
+   - Added `extract_operator_at_position/2` helper to extract operators from line text
+   - Modified `get_hover_from_module/4` to check for operators before other symbols
+   - Updated call chain to pass text through hover functions
+
+2. **Operator Detection Logic**:
+   - Searches for `|->` in a 3-character window around the cursor position
+   - Validates that cursor is within the operator boundaries
+   - Works regardless of surrounding whitespace
+
+3. **Hover Information**:
+   - Provides comprehensive documentation about the Melquíades operator
+   - Explains async message sending behavior using `gen_server:cast/2`
+   - Documents the three forms of GenServer names (local, global, via)
+   - Includes origin story (named after character from García Márquez)
+
+### Technical Details
+
+The operator detection works by:
+
+1. Extracting the line of text at the cursor position
+2. Searching for the `|->` pattern within a few characters of the cursor
+3. Verifying the cursor is within the operator's character range
+4. Returning the hover information from the existing `get_symbol_hover_info/3` clause
+
+### Hover Content
+
+When hovering over `|->`, users see:
+
+```cure
+message |-> target
+```
+
+**Melquíades Operator** (|->)
+
+Sends a message asynchronously to a GenServer process.
+
+Named after the character from Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Uses `gen_server:cast/2` (fire-and-forget)
+- Always returns `None`
+- Records are auto-converted to maps with `__from__` key
+
+**Target formats:**
+- Local name: `:my_server`
+- Global: `{:global, :name}`
+- Via registry: `{:via, Registry, key}`
+
+## Testing
+
+A comprehensive test suite was created in `test/lsp_melquiades_hover_test.erl` that verifies:
+
+- Hover works when cursor is on any character of `|->`
+- Hover works with and without surrounding whitespace
+- Hover works on actual code from `examples/melquiades_demo.cure`
+- Other symbols still work correctly (backward compatibility)
+
+All tests pass successfully.
+
+## Usage
+
+In a Cure-aware editor with LSP support:
+
+1. Open a `.cure` file containing the `|->` operator
+2. Hover over any character of the operator
+3. Documentation will appear in a tooltip
+
+## Example
+
+```cure
+module Example do
+  def send_notification(msg: String): Unit =
+    msg |-> :notification_server
+         ↑ Hover here to see documentation
+end
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+The operator detection framework can be extended to provide hover information for other operators:
+- `|>` (pipe operator)
+- `-->` (FSM transition operator)
+- `<$`, `<*>`, `>>=` (functor/applicative/monad operators)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `lsp/cure_lsp_analyzer.erl` - Added operator detection and hover support
+- `test/lsp_melquiades_hover_test.erl` - New test file
+- `docs/lsp-melquiades-operator-support.md` - This documentation
