feat(inventory): enhance parser for AI formatting edge cases
Completely rewrote parseItems() to robustly handle diverse AI output
formats without requiring JSON mode (not all local models support it).
New capabilities:
1. Multiple bracket types: [], {}, [[]]
2. Wrapping quotes: "...", '...'
3. Newline-based lists: "Sword\nShield" → ["Sword", "Shield"]
4. Markdown stripping: **bold**, *italic*, `code`, ~~strike~~
5. List markers: "- Sword", "1. Item", "• Item"
6. Graceful unmatched parentheses (warns but doesn't crash)
7. Per-item quote stripping: ["Sword", "Shield"]
Implementation:
- 6-step processing pipeline with clear documentation
- Helper function cleanSingleItem() for per-item cleanup
- Preserves commas inside parentheses (existing feature)
- Console warnings for malformed input (unmatched parens)
Examples now supported:
- Standard: "Sword, Shield" ✓
- Newlines: "Sword\nShield\nPotion" ✓
- Bulleted: "- Sword\n- Shield" ✓
- Numbered: "1. Sword\n2. Shield" ✓
- Markdown: "**Sword** (equipped)" → "Sword (equipped)" ✓
- Complex: "Potato (Cursed, Sexy, Etc), **Shield**" ✓
This future-proofs the parser against varied AI model behaviors.
