Naiyuan Qing 25104d1855 perf(editor): parse large markdown in chunks to fix O(n²) freeze (#3823)
@tiptap/markdown parses via marked, whose tokenizer is O(n²) in document
length. Opening a large markdown doc (issue description, agent
instructions, …) froze the UI for tens of seconds: a 533KB plain-text doc
took 61.8s to parse while the subsequent ProseMirror setContent was only
40ms. Upgrading marked doesn't help — already on 17.0.5, whose fix only
covers `_`/`*` delimiter runs, not general prose.

Parse large markdown in chunks instead of in one shot: split on blank
lines outside fenced code blocks, parse each chunk independently, then
concatenate the resulting docs. This drops marked's cost to O(n²/k) while
producing a byte-identical document. Applied transparently at
ContentEditor's two parse entry points (mount + WS-driven re-parse), gated
at 50KB so normal small docs stay on the single-parse fast path.

533KB: parse 61.8s -> 0.95s (65x), open 100s -> 3.2s (31x).

* Parse markdown into a ProseMirror JSON doc in chunks to dodge marked's O(n²).
*
* Splitting into k chunks and parsing each independently drops the cost to
* O(n²/k) — marked only ever scans within one small chunk. Cuts happen only at
* blank lines OUTSIDE fenced code blocks, so every chunk is a complete sequence
* of block nodes; concatenating the per-chunk docs reproduces the same document
* a single parse would have produced.
*
* Known limitation: a "loose" list (items separated by blank lines) straddling a
* chunk boundary may render as two adjacent lists. Acceptable trade-off vs. a
* minute-long freeze, and only reachable on documents past the threshold.
