# Bug 460: strip_bot_mention fails on Element Markdown mention pill format
## Description
When Element sends a mention pill, the plain text `body` field contains a Markdown-style link like `[@timmy:crashlabs.io](https://matrix.to/#/@timmy:crashlabs.io) status`. The `strip_bot_mention` function uses prefix matching, so it tries to match `@timmy:crashlabs.io`, `@timmy`, and `Timmy` against text starting with `[` — none match. The entire message falls through to the LLM as a non-command.
`mentions_bot` works because it uses `body.contains(full_id)` which finds the MXID embedded inside the Markdown link. But `strip_bot_mention` fails because the text starts with `[`, not `@` or the display name.
This causes all deterministic bot commands (status, help, ambient, etc.) to be routed to the LLM instead of being handled by the bot when the user uses Element's mention pill (@-autocomplete).
## How to Reproduce
1. In Element, type `@timmy` and use the autocomplete pill to mention the bot
2. Append a command like `status`
3. Send the message
## Actual Result
The command falls through to the LLM. The bot logs show no "Handled bot command" entry. The plain body is `[@timmy:crashlabs.io](https://matrix.to/#/@timmy:crashlabs.io) status` which `strip_bot_mention` cannot parse.
## Expected Result
The bot should strip the Markdown mention link wrapper, extract the MXID or display name, and match the command deterministically. `@timmy status` via mention pill should produce the same pipeline status output as typing `@timmy status` manually.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] strip_bot_mention handles Markdown link format `[display](https://matrix.to/#/@user:server) command` and extracts the command text
- [ ] Deterministic commands (status, help, ambient, etc.) work when invoked via Element mention pill autocomplete
- [ ] Unit tests cover the Markdown mention pill body format
- [ ] Existing strip_bot_mention tests still pass (plain @mention and display name formats)
