Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating rust-analyzer's snippet handling and the implementation of the "extract to variable" action, then trace how placeholders are parsed or expanded. Done means placeholders work again in that extraction flow, with coverage for the reported behavior.
