```
agent_ui: Truncate file path in context completions (#42682)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38753

Followed some prior art here: [a similar calculation
](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/e80b490ac00bfb5c206d3eb3f5c2dec10e742678/crates/file_finder/src/file_finder.rs#L1105)
in `file_finder.rs`

Release Notes:

- improved visibility of long path names in context completions by
truncating on the left when space is insufficient to render the full
path
