Podcast episode functional test fails: Listen on link text now includes the new-tab hint

Problem/Motivation

The functional scenario "Check that the episode offers the show's listening platforms" (tests/features/17-content-podcasts/17-06-podcast-episode-page.feature) now fails on 1.0.x and on every open merge request, so the 17-content-podcasts-b job is red.

Since #3628120 was merged into the theme on 4 October 2026, the Listen on links to external platforms carry a visually hidden "(opens in a new tab)". The step "the episode should offer every platform of the ... podcast, in order" reads each link's text and compares it with the platform name in the demo content, so it now reads "YouTube Music (opens in a new tab)" where it expects "YouTube Music". The theme change is intended; the step is what is out of date.

Failing runs: 1.0.x pipeline 988462 and pipeline 988465 of !69.

Steps to reproduce

1. Build The Rightup with the 1.0.x-dev theme, which includes #3628120.
2. Run tests/features/17-content-podcasts/17-06-podcast-episode-page.feature.
3. The scenario fails with an AssertionError: expected title "YouTube Music", actual "YouTube Music (opens in a new tab)", for each of the four external platforms. The RSS link is a local link and is not affected.

Proposed resolution

In that step, drop the trailing " (opens in a new tab)" from each link's text before comparing, because the step checks platform names and addresses, not the hint. The Share step already expects the hint in its link names.
