fix(shortcodes): use semicolon delimiter to avoid smart typography issue (#13915)

* test(smoke): add regression test for shortcode with trailing dash (#13913)

* Add .gitignore from running tests

* fix(shortcodes): use semicolon delimiter to avoid smart typography issue (#13913)

Shortcodes followed by a trailing dash were being hex-encoded in output
because Pandoc's +smart extension converts -- to en-dash, breaking the
UUID pattern match during decode.

Changed the delimiter from - to ; in the UUID-HEX encoding format to
prevent this collision with smart typography.

* test(smoke): add semicolon edge case to shortcode test (#13913)
