util: fix stylize of special properties in inspect

Snowflyt · aduh95 · commit 7ec04cf9366a · 2025-11-13T22:44:15.000+01:00
Previously, formatExtraProperties applied ctx.stylize to the entire '[key]: value' string. This caused the colon and space to be styled, making the output inconsistent with normal object properties. Now, only the key itself is stylized, and the colon and space remain unstyled, aligning with the formatting of regular properties.
