Merge remote-tracking branch 'gitea/develop' into fix/507-drawio-cyrillic

Review follow-up to the base64→entity-XML content= switch. The whole mxfile XML
now lives in one content="..." attribute; XML attribute-value normalization
collapses a LITERAL tab/newline/CR to a single space on DOM read (jsdom and the
real draw.io editor alike), silently flattening multi-line labels and
tab-bearing values that the old base64 form stored verbatim.

Finding 1 (data-loss): both encode paths — buildDrawioSvg's xmlEscape (mcp) and
the import service's escape — now append 	/
/
 after the four
&<>" replaces (numeric char-refs survive normalization, as draw.io's own export
does). The extractContentAttr regex fallback now decodes those char-refs (hex
case-insensitive plus decimal &#9;/&#10;/&#13;) so it agrees with the DOM path;
&amp; stays decoded last so an escaped &amp;#x9; reads back as literal text.

Finding 2 (dedup): the server's private xmlEscapeAttr is replaced by the shared
htmlEscape helper (& < > " ' — a strict superset, the extra ' is harmless in a
"-delimited value) wrapped in xmlEscapeContent, which adds the three control-char
char-refs on top (htmlEscape does not escape them).

Finding 3 (docs): narrow the CHANGELOG healing claim — only a diagram still
holding its original correct-UTF-8 base64 (not yet opened/autosaved) is
recoverable; one already opened in the editor persisted mojibake at rest and its
text is lost.

Tests: new mcp round-trip test with literal tab/newline/CR in a value (DOM path,
byte-stable) plus a fallback-branch test forcing a malformed wrapper so both
decode paths are proven to agree; new server spec asserting char-ref encoding.
Mutation-checked: dropping the encode replaces reddens both new mcp tests;
dropping only the fallback decode reddens just the fallback test.

 ### Fixed
 
+- **Cyrillic (and any non-ASCII) draw.io labels no longer turn into mojibake
+  when a diagram is opened in the draw.io editor.** Agent-created diagrams
+  (`drawioCreate`) and Confluence-imported diagrams stored their model in the
+  SVG's `content=` attribute as base64; the draw.io editor decodes that via
+  Latin-1 `atob` (no UTF-8 step), so every non-ASCII char (e.g. `Старт-бит`,
+  `ё`, `—`) split into garbage and the editor's autosave then persisted the
+  corrupted model, breaking the page preview too. Both write paths
+  (`buildDrawioSvg`, the import service's `createDrawioSvg`) now write `content=`
+  as XML-entity-escaped mxfile XML — draw.io's own native form, decoded by the
+  DOM as UTF-8 — so labels open intact. The decoder reads both the new
+  entity-encoded form and the old base64 form, so existing diagrams still open.
+  *Healing pre-fix diagrams:* only a diagram that still holds its original
+  (correct-UTF-8) base64 — i.e. one not yet opened/autosaved in the draw.io
+  editor — can be repaired in place by `drawioGet` → `drawioUpdate` with the
+  same XML (rewrites the attachment in the new form); no migration script is
+  needed. A diagram that was already opened in the editor persisted the
+  mojibake at rest, so `drawioGet` reads the already-corrupted text and
+  `drawioUpdate` faithfully rewrites it — that text is lost and is not
+  recoverable by a rewrite. (#507)
 - **A chat with one malformed message part no longer 500s on every turn, and a
   failed send no longer duplicates the user's message.** Incoming client parts
   are now whitelisted to `text` (a forged tool-result part can no longer reach
