Closes #272.

Relative references such as order(after="test_source") currently fail when the referenced test has parameter IDs containing nested brackets or ::. The marker is ignored and dependent tests execute too early. Use pytest's original function name to identify the unparameterized node, retaining the actual full node ID for item identity. Class-label matching also ignores parameter contents.

Add regressions for module and class methods, before/after relationships, class labels, nested brackets, IPv6-like IDs, ::() and slash-containing IDs. This preserves the documented whole-test reference behavior; it does not add support for referencing individual parameter cases.

Validation on macOS, Python 3.12.14 / pytest 9.2.0:

• Real pytest reproduction changes from 1 failure + 1 pass to 2 passes.
• Full suite: 166 passed on both Python 3.12.14 / pytest 9.2.0 and Python 3.10.21 / minimum pytest 6.2.4.
• Branch-inclusive coverage: 98.7435% on unchanged main, 98.7487% after; the same 3 missing statements and 9 partial branches, with no new gaps.
• Pinned Ruff 0.17.1 checks/format and mypy 2.4.0 pass; git diff --check passes.

Linux/Windows and the full supported Python/pytest matrix were not run locally. Hosted CI remains pending.

AI-assisted implementation, testing and review.

Changelog reference validation: the release note now links Issue #272. Applicable configured pre-commit checks for CHANGELOG.md and git diff --check pass. Runtime code, configuration and tests are unchanged from 86ce35847ef4caaede4228ba16fae1d94a680d39; the previously reported 166-test runs in both environments remain bound to that SHA and were reused, not rerun for this documentation-only commit.
