Polish markdown external link wrapping (#4447)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The board UI renders agent comments, PR links, issue links, and
operational markdown throughout issue threads
> - Long GitHub and external links can wrap awkwardly, leaving icons
orphaned from the text they describe
> - Small inbox visual polish also helps repeated board scanning without
changing behavior
> - This pull request glues markdown link icons to adjacent link
characters and removes a redundant inbox list border
> - The benefit is cleaner, more stable markdown and inbox rendering for
day-to-day operator review

## What Changed

- Added an external-link indicator for external markdown links.
- Kept the GitHub icon attached to the first link character so it does
not wrap onto a separate line.
- Kept the external-link icon attached to the final link character so it
does not wrap away from the URL/text.
- Added markdown rendering regressions for GitHub and external link icon
wrapping.
- Removed the extra border around the inbox list card.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`

## Risks

- Low risk. The markdown change is limited to link child rendering and
preserves existing href/target/rel behavior.
- Visual-only inbox polish.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled with
