What's Wrong?
ClaudeFilePathFilter in IntelliJ plugin attempts to parse glob patterns
like *.yml or application-*.yml from markdown text as actual file paths.
On Windows, asterisk (*) is an illegal path character, causing crash:
java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <> at index 19: config/application-.yml
What Should Happen?
Plugin should ignore glob patterns in markdown text and not attempt to parse them as file paths.
Alternatively, it should handle asterisks gracefully on Windows.

The plugin's ClaudeFilePathFilter throws InvalidPathException on Windows
when terminal output contains path-like strings followed by a colon.
Examples that crash:
Cause: Regex captures the colon as part of the path, but ":" is illegal
in Windows paths (except for drive letters like "C:").
Fix: Strip trailing punctuation (: , . ; !) before path resolution,
or wrap Path.resolve() in try-catch for InvalidPathException.
