## Message

```
terminal: Respect word boundaries after tree branches (#62076)

# Objective

Fixes #61767.

Double-clicking a service name after a `systemctl` tree branch also
selects the `└─` prefix.

## Solution

Add `─` to Alacritty's semantic escape characters for both PTY and
display-only terminals. The regression test checks that selecting
`└─zms-demo.target` returns only `zms-demo.target`.

## Testing

  - `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
  - `git diff --check`
  - Added `semantic_selection_stops_at_tree_branch`

The regression test could not run locally because this Windows
environment does not have MSVC's `link.exe`. It can be run with:

  `cargo test -p terminal semantic_selection_stops_at_tree_branch`
