perf(editor): cut per-keystroke work on the typing hot path (#343 )

The editor lagged while typing (worse with doc size, and under collaboration the same cost is paid for every REMOTE keystroke). ProseMirror itself was fine — the overhead was the surrounding work done on every transaction. Behavior is 1:1; only WHEN work runs changed. - getJSON() off the keystroke path: `onUpdate` no longer serializes the whole doc synchronously — the serialization now runs inside a 3s debounce (new hook use-page-content-cache.ts), flushed on unmount so the last snapshot isn't lost. - footnote numbering: merged 3 per-docChanged O(n) doc walks into one, and short-circuit the whole-doc renumber when the doc has no footnotes and the transaction didn't insert one (step-slice scan — covers typing/paste/collab). - toolbar: replaced per-keystroke `editor.can().undo()/.redo()` dry-runs with cheap history-depth reads (Yjs undoManager stack length / pm-history depth). - render side-effect bug: `remote.attach()` moved out of the render body into a useEffect. - debounced the TOC all-headings rescan and memoized the slash-command suggestion build (was rebuilt twice per keystroke). - node menus (image/video/audio/pdf/callout/subpages): the per-transaction selectors early-return a cheap isActive check instead of running getAttributes + multiple alignment probes while their node type is inactive (shouldShow still controls display — appears exactly when it did). - code blocks: the global selectionUpdate listener is now added only for mermaid blocks (the only consumer of the selected state), eliminating N listeners + N setStates per caret move for normal code blocks. Deferred (documented, collab hot-path risk): full conditional menu MOUNTING (menu-less-frame risk on same-tx context switch) and code-block re-tokenization debounce / language-persist (self-dispatching meta tx + node-attr writes interact with collab/undo). The route split from #342 already keeps lowlight off startup. Gate: editor-ext build + 252/252 tests, client editor tests pass, tsc --noEmit 0, client build ok. New tests: footnote no-footnote-doc → 0 traversals + numbering unchanged; page-content-cache onUpdate-no-sync-getJSON + flush-on-unmount.

-  to save a named version of a page. The history panel now distinguishes
-  intentional versions (a "Saved" / "Agent version" badge) from automatic
-  snapshots, dims autosaves, and offers an "Only versions" filter. Automatic
-  snapshots switched from a fixed interval to a trailing idle-flush with a

-  changes (e.g. a person's edits followed by the AI agent). (#370)

 - **Place several images side by side in a row.** A new "Inline (side by

  images as a row that wraps onto the next line on narrow screens. The row is

+ *
+ * This hook moves the serialization INSIDE the debounced callback, so the

+ * the returned function from `onUpdate` (it only schedules the debounce); the
+ * `getJSON()` snapshot is taken when the debounce fires.
+ *
+ * On unmount/navigation the pending snapshot is FLUSHED (via `flushOnUnmount`)
+ * so the last edits within the debounce window aren't lost from the local cache.
+ * The source of truth is collab/Yjs, but the cache must not go stale.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT: call this hook BEFORE `useEditor`. React runs effect cleanups in
+ * declaration order on unmount, so the debounce's flush cleanup must be declared
+ * before `useEditor`'s teardown to run while the editor is still alive; the
+ * `isDestroyed` guard keeps a flush that still races teardown safe (it skips).
