fix: code block

[vitonsky]

Closes #345, fixes #350

This PR fixes problem in #350, see more info in original comment: #350 (comment)

Summary

In this PR I've update the lexical and enable a syntax highlighting.

Also I have checked the code block logic, it works acceptable, and have fixed a CSS problem with broken lines for code block.

Findings

Since we can't decorate code block - we cannot afford to implement logic to select language of code block and add button to copy the whole content of code block.

The problem is Lexical does not let us to simply extend CodeNode with react wrapper to implement implement layout like:

• Header with language selector + copy button
• Original code block
• Some footer with useful information and code insights and action buttons

Technically, it is possible to implement this approach, but with lot of downsides

• We must introduce a new node that will contain CodeNode and wrap it with its own logic
• We must implement our own logic for this node to manage cursor correctly, etc
• Lexical code will not know about our own node so it will not be handled as a special case like CodeNode in cases where it is important. So eventually we will have to re-write all Lexical code on our own to fix specific bugs caused by this design

I will ask Lexical community if this problem can be solved idiomatically and if it is possible, we will do it in another PR.

For now it seems we cannot extend any nodes, so it will be hard blocker for #86.

For purpose of code block controls implementation I propose another approach in #381

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Code blocks now support syntax highlighting and indentation, and can be inserted as plain text.
• Bug Fixes
  • Focusing an editor without an existing selection now places the cursor at the start of its content. Existing selections remain unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

The app updates Lexical packages and changes code block insertion, focus handling, highlighting registration, and gutter styling. Browser tests cover inserting an empty code block and converting a text paragraph into a code block.

Changes: Code block editing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Code highlighting and gutter styling packages/app/package.json, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/plugins/CodeHighlightPlugin.tsx, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/theme/RichEditor.css	The app adds @lexical/code-prism and updates Lexical versions. The plugin registers code highlighting alongside indentation, and gutter styling now applies only to code blocks with the required attributes.
Code block insertion and focus packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/RichEditorContent.tsx, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/plugins/EditorPanelPlugin/EditorPanelPlugin.tsx, packages/app/src/features/NoteEditor/RichEditor/__tests__/spec/codeblock.browser.test.ts	The insertion handler creates plaintext code nodes. When no selection exists, focus() selects the root’s start. Browser tests cover insertion into an empty editor and conversion of a text paragraph into a code block.

Newly inserted code blocks use a plaintext language that the highlighter may not support. If so, indenting selected code with Tab could fail. Confirm or correct the language value before merging.

Explanation

Issue #345 remains open and has active coding requirements. The pull request adds Prism highlighting, plaintext defaults, focus handling, gutter handling, and tests for code-block insertion and paragraph conversion. The insertion tests do not establish that the editor can exit a code block after insertion. The changes do not implement or test the required delete-block button, convert-to-text button, language selector, or copy-code button.

Exercise the insertion control in the browser scenario.

Both scenarios call editor.insert(), which sends the plugin event directly. They can pass even if a user cannot activate the insertion control or the control loses the editor selection. For a user-facing insertion regression, activate the real control and assert the resulting block. If the first scenario only tests plugin wiring, put that scenario in a .dom.test.ts file instead. As per coding guidelines, “Use a .browser.test.ts test when the contract is that a user can perform an action and get the expected result in the app”; use .dom.test.ts when behavior depends on editor and plugin composition.
