+/**
+ * trackChangesModel — F7 pure, vscode-free render engine (spec §6.2, INV-22/23).
+ *
+ * `renderTrackChanges(baselineText, currentText)` returns the annotated HTML body
+ * for the preview webview: a block-level diff (LCS over normalized blocks) with
+ * word-level `<ins>`/`<del>` refinement inside changed PROSE blocks, and CODE /
+ * MERMAID fences kept ATOMIC (INV-23 — never word-refined, never partially
+ * rendered). Deterministic: same inputs → identical HTML (INV-22). No vscode, no
+ * DOM — `markdown-it` and `diff` are libraries; mermaid runs later in the webview.
