Skipping was not the answer — Studio has the text. What it did not have
was a way to know WHICH text: it keeps the raw prompt on its own port and
expands per scene, while the editor hands a linked node the already
expanded string. So its copy and the encoded one can differ.
server._expanded_link_texts is exactly what a node outside Studio
received, and the builder now forwards it. And the choice is CHECKED, not
guessed: minimax_token_tags says how many text positions the tensor
holds, so each candidate is tokenized and the one that fits wins, which
also yields the exact base offset. No arithmetic fallback, no assumption
about whose string it was.
Emphasis is only skipped when no candidate tokenizes to the tensor's text
run at all, which means the encoded string genuinely is not here.
