    SharedCommentNode for copied shared comment text. Node lookup,

    semantic falls back to \a context.page, the output page node.
 
    \a context.page is the output page node that renders the content.
    URL computation through HrefResolver and cross-module relative URLs
    use it, so rendered hrefs always stay relative to the rendered page
    even when the semantic context is a member inside that page.
 
    This must be called after ContentBuilder produces the block tree

/*!
    Core resolution logic for a single Link \a link. Mirrors the behavior
    of XmlGenerator::getLink() and XmlGenerator::getAutoLink():
 
    \list
    \li External URLs (http, https, ftp, file, mailto) are marked without
        node lookup.
    \li Node lookup uses the \a context.semantic node as the search
        context, and genus and module metadata from ContentBuilder when
        available. Explicit links carry genus scoping (CPP, QML) and
        module names for tree-scoped search. Autolinks fall back to
        forest-wide search with DontCare genus.
    \li Deprecated targets suppress autolinks when the semantic node isn't
        deprecated; explicit \\l and \\sa links keep the author's reference.
    \li HrefResolver computes the URL relative to the \a context.page node
        and returns an HrefResult variant: a URL on success, or an
        HrefSuppressReason (self-link, policy exclusion, etc.) that maps
        to LinkState::Suppressed.
    \li Unresolvable links emit warnings controlled by LinkResolverConfig.
    \endlist
 
    The \a context.semantic node provides the context for node lookup,
    deprecation behavior, and warning source location; the \a context.page
    node provides the context for URL computation.
