Technical summary

PDM plugin installation in editable mode mishandles file URL parsing.

Parse file:// URLs into local paths before invoking editable install logic, keeping the editable flag attached to the local project.

This issue is about plugin editable install, so normal package dependency parsing should remain unchanged.

The snippet uses native project logic; the editable file URL is parsed before PDM decides whether it is a local project path. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import pdm; print('smoke test OK')"
