test(editor): cover read-only code-block branch; drop dead justify prop (#275 review F1/F2)

F1: add code-block-view.test.tsx (mirrors the footnote structure harness) asserting
the language selector renders only when editor.isEditable, and the copy button is
present in both modes.
F2: remove the now-dead justify=flex-end on the absolutely-positioned menu Group.
