Research direction
Start by reproducing the cli_alert() inline-markup example with a substituted URL path, then inspect the generated link for the invisible escape characters shown in the issue. Done means the rendered URL remains valid and does not encode those characters when clicked; no specific source file or test is named in the issue.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
If a url is created as part of an alert (I assume this holds for all message types) via inline markup, there are additional "invisible" characters added to the string that make the url invalid.
library(cli)
test <- "path"
cli_alert("{.url https://example.com/{test}}")
#> → <https://example.com/path>
In both cases you cannot see the invalid characters but when you click the link, it turns into https://example.com/%1B%5B3mpath%1B%5B3m in the browser.
