Fixes #14570
This PR adds "Show Help at Cursor" to the editor right-click context menu. The command already existed with keybindings (F1, Cmd+K Cmd+H) and a command palette entry; this PR just surfaces it in the context menu where users might look for it, as requested in the issue.
This is purely declarative metadata. A
menuentry added to the existingShowHelpAtCursoraction registration. There is no new runtime logic, and the action'srun()method is unchanged.The
whenclause reuses thePOSITRON_RUNTIME_LANGUAGE_IDScontext key I added in #13098 (for "View Data Frame at Cursor"), so the item shows on editors whose language has a registered Positron runtime, plus.qmdexplicitly (the embedded language is resolved at the cursor). The entry is ordered to sit just below "Go to References" and just above "View Data Frame at Cursor" in the navigation group:Release Notes

There are no automated tests here because the change is declarative menu registration with no new logic to exercise. We can verify manually during review:
library). Confirm "Show Help at Cursor" appears in the context menu, directly below "Go to References" and above "View Data Frame at Cursor". Choosing it opens the help topic.print)..qmdfile with an R chunk or a Python chunk, place the cursor inside each chunk on a symbol and confirm the item appears and opens help for the correct language (this exercises the embedded-language path).
