fix(mdx-loader): support explicit heading IDs when mdx1Compat.comments is enabled - #12932
When markdown.mdx1Compat.comments is true (the default in Docusaurus 3.x), @slorber/remark-comment is registered as a unified plugin. During micromark parsing, it tokenized HTML comments and dropped them from the AST because ast: true was not specified in its options.
Consequently, when headings remark plugin ran, any heading written with explicit heading ID comment syntax like:
## Hello World <!-- #my-explicit-id -->
no longer had the comment node in heading.children. The heading was assigned id="hello-world-" (preserving the trailing space as a hyphen), and any links to #my-explicit-id were reported as broken anchors.
This PR:
Passes {ast: true} to remarkComment so comment nodes (type: 'comment') are preserved in the AST rather than dropped during parsing.
Updates getCommentHeadingId in headings remark plugin to check lastChild?.type === 'comment' and extract the heading ID from its commentValue.
Ensures comment nodes are ignored when computing heading text fallback in getHeadingText.
Test Plan
Added unit tests in:
packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader/src/remark/headings/__tests__/index.test.ts: verified headings remark plugin extracts ID from HTML comments when remarkComment with {ast: true} is enabled.
packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader/src/__tests__/processor.test.ts: verified processContent extracts id: "my-explicit-id" and produces clean children: "Hello World" for both format: 'md' and format: 'mdx' with mdx1Compat.comments enabled.
All 17 test files (246 tests) in packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader pass cleanly.
packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader builds cleanly with tsc.
…s is enabled
When markdown.mdx1Compat.comments is enabled, remarkComment stripped HTML comments during micromark parsing, leaving behind the trailing space on the heading text and preventing extractCommentId from reading the comment node.
Configure remarkComment with {ast: true} so comment nodes are retained in the AST, and teach headings remark plugin to recognize comment nodes to extract the explicit heading ID and clean up trailing spaces.

When MDX 1-compatible comment processing is enabled, the processor emits comment AST nodes. The heading plugin extracts explicit IDs from those nodes, handles legacy IDs in headings with multiple children, and excludes comments from heading text. Tests cover CommonMark and both md and mdx formats.
The processor configures remarkComment with {ast: true} when MDX 1-compatible comments are enabled. The heading plugin extracts IDs from comment AST nodes, handles legacy IDs when headings contain multiple children, and excludes comments from heading text. Tests cover these cases in CommonMark and both md and mdx formats.
The compatibility-comment fix has a narrow remaining edge case: classic IDs inside formatted heading text can remain visible. Merge risk is low, with a localized cleanup correction recommended.

Explanation
The title names the affected package (mdx-loader), the fix type, and the feature it restores: explicit heading IDs when mdx1Compat.comments is enabled. The raw summary and PR objectives confirm the change adds HTML-comment heading ID extraction, passes {ast: true} to remarkComment, and ignores comment nodes in fallback heading text. The title matches the main change, so the check passes. The title is 81 characters, which is slightly long but within normal limits for a conventional commit title.

Explanation
Issue #12927 requires that ## Hello World <!-- #my-explicit-id --> yield id="my-explicit-id" when markdown.mdx1Compat.comments is true, with no broken-anchor warning.
The diff from merge base c00f04e to head 04f1fc5 covers this in three places:
packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader/src/processor.ts: remarkComment is registered as [remarkComment, {ast: true}] when comments are enabled. The comment node stays in the AST.
packages/docusaurus-mdx-loader/src/remark/headings/index.ts: getCommentHeadingId checks lastChild.type === 'comment' and reads commentValue. It passes the value to getCommentContentHeadingId. The existing html and MDX expression paths are unchanged.
extractCommentId removes the comment node and calls trimEnd() on the preceding text node. This removes the trailing space that caused hello-world-.
The headings test diff asserts the comment node shape (type: 'comment', commentValue). It also asserts id: 'my-explicit-id' for CommonMark. The processor test asserts children: "Hello World" for md and mdx. I did not read the @slorber/remark-comment source. The node shape rests on the test expectations, so this is a residual uncertainty.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changes relate to issue #12927.
processor.ts: enables comment AST nodes. Required for the fix.
remark/headings/index.ts: reads comment IDs, excludes comment nodes from heading text, and trims the trailing space. These steps implement the issue.
extractClassicSyntaxHeadingId: now selects the last text child instead of the last child. This supports the fix. With a comment node as the last child, the legacy {#id} path would otherwise edit the wrong node. The headings test covers ## Heading {#legacy}<!-- note -->.
Test files cover the new behavior for md and mdx.
No unrelated source, configuration, or dependency change appears in the reviewed diffs.

Explanation
Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 4 files.

Remove the ID from the node that contains it.
For ## Intro *Bold {#id}*, the plugin assigns id but leaves {#id} visible inside the emphasis. Remove the suffix from the node that contributed it to the parsed heading text.

Trim whitespace before a removed classic ID.
If an earlier remark plugin splits the separator and {#id} into separate text nodes, removing the ID leaves trailing whitespace in the heading AST. Trim the preceding text node when removing the ID-only node.
