Shared links routinely carry ad/analytics identifiers (utm_*, fbclid, gclid,
YouTube si=, Amazon ref=/tag=, X s=/t=, TikTok _r/_t, …) that tie every
recipient's click back to the person who shared the link. New
src/app/utils/urlTracking.ts is a pure, local stripper: a global list +
utm_/pk_/matomo_ prefixes, plus host-scoped rules so e.g. `si` is only
removed on youtube/spotify. matrix.to and non-http(s) schemes are never
rewritten; unparseable input is returned unchanged; Amazon's `th`/`psc`
variant selectors are deliberately kept. 13 unit tests.
Wired at three points, all behind a new Settings → Privacy toggle
(`stripTrackingParams`, default on):
- paste: plain-text pastes are cleaned and re-inserted through Slate's own
insertData so multi-line pastes still split into paragraphs;
- send: RoomInput submit + schedule paths and MessageEditor saves clean both
`body` and `formatted_body` (the HTML variant unescapes `&` around each
URL and re-escapes it so the markup is untouched);
- render: linkify `formatHref`/`format` and explicit `<a href>` in
formatted_body are cleaned, so links sent from other clients are safe to
click too. LINKIFY_OPTS is spread into memoised per-timeline objects, so
the toggle is a module flag kept current by ClientNonUIFeatures.
