✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The PR title "BUG: Explorer plugin navigate path should only show results in current path" is directly related to the main change in the changeset. The raw summary describes the key alteration: removal of quick access links from the action-keyword branch and addition of them only later in the processing flow (when not in a path search scenario). The title accurately captures this intent—when navigating a path, only results within that current path should be shown, which aligns with the conditional logic being changed to exclude quick access results during path searches.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The PR description "Union results with Quick Access Links only when it's not a path search action" is directly related to the changeset. This description accurately reflects the core modification: moving the quick access link union operation from the early action-keyword branch to later in the flow, and restricting it to scenarios where a path search is not occurring. The description is specific and conveys meaningful information about what is being changed and why.

107-108: LGTM! The fix correctly addresses the PR objective.

The strategic placement of QuickAccess.AccessLinkListMatched after the switch statement ensures that quick access links are only added for non-path searches:

• Path searches (lines 77-83): Return early at line 83, bypassing this code entirely
• Content/Index searches (lines 85-102): Continue to line 107 and include quick access links

This correctly implements the requirement to "Union results with Quick Access Links only when the action is not a path search action."
