Swap the Contribute-mode editing surface from Tiptap WYSIWYG to a
CodeMirror 6 markdown source editor. Discuss mode and any read-only
viewing continues to render through Tiptap.
The §8.11 manual-edit debounce now reads the raw markdown source via
CodeMirror's doc, eliminating the lossy `editor.getText()` round-trip
that RFCView.jsx flagged as a §19.2 candidate; what the contributor
typed is exactly what gets POSTed to manual flush.
The §8.10 paragraph-margin gutter accent on Tiptap is dropped — it was
dead in read-only Discuss anyway, and Phase 4 of the Contribute
rewrite adds a change-anchored gutter against the CM6 raw pane.
The Tiptap-side accept-time injection of <span class="tracked-*">
markup also drops out — CM6 can't render those spans, and Phase 3's
preview pane is the proper home for tracked changes. The reviewMode /
DiffView toggle still works against marked-rendered HTML in the
interim until Phase 7 retires it.
Notes:
- Bundle gzipped grows ~50KB for CM6 modules (state/view/commands/
language/lang-markdown). Mermaid in Phase 2 will be the larger lift
and should lazy-load.
- Verified the CM6 editor mounts cleanly via Vite dev preview: ref
handle (`view/getDoc/setDoc`) is wired, `onUpdate` fires on doc
changes, gutter / line-numbers / active-line all render, and the
source round-trips verbatim. Could not drive the full RFCView
Contribute flow end-to-end without a running backend; the manual
countdown + save-now + accept/decline pathways are verified by
inspection only.
- 125 backend integration tests still green.
