Performance Improvements and onBeforeInput Edge Case Implementation

Summary

This PR implements two key improvements to the edytor text editor:

  1. TreeWalker Optimization: Added WeakMap-based caching for TreeWalker instances in selection handling to reduce DOM API overhead during frequent selection operations.

  2. onBeforeInput Edge Case: Completed the missing implementation for block-spanning backward deletion scenarios, adding proper post-deletion handling for nested blocks and empty block cleanup.

Both changes follow existing code patterns and are designed to improve performance and feature completeness without breaking existing functionality.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Test TreeWalker optimization with various selection scenarios - Navigate through text, select across blocks, verify cursor positioning works correctly and performance feels smooth
  • Test block-spanning backward deletion edge cases - Select text across multiple blocks and press backspace, especially with nested blocks and empty blocks
  • Monitor memory usage during extended editing sessions - Open dev tools memory tab and edit for several minutes to ensure no memory leaks from TreeWalker caching
  • Verify selection positioning after complex deletions - After block-spanning deletions, ensure cursor ends up in the correct position and text content is as expected
  • Test nested block scenarios specifically - Create nested block structures and test backward deletion to ensure proper unnesting behavior

Note: CI failures are deployment infrastructure-related (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify), not code issues. Local build and tests pass except for a pre-existing setBlock test failure that exists on master branch.

Notes

  • Performance Impact: The TreeWalker optimization is expected to reduce selection operation overhead by 30-50% based on the analysis in PERFORMANCE_ANALYSIS.md
  • Memory Safety: WeakMap automatically handles cleanup when DOM nodes are garbage collected, preventing memory leaks during long editing sessions
  • Code Patterns: Both implementations follow existing patterns in the codebase for consistency
  • Session Info: Requested by @beynar - Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/d1bc67f55bc34d16922ed61eae9dd0d2

Pre-existing Issue: There's a failing test in setBlock.test.tsx showing text duplication ("Hello world!Hello world!") that exists on both this branch and master - this appears unrelated to the current changes and should be addressed separately.

- Add WeakMap-based caching for TreeWalker instances to avoid recreation
- Implement getOrCreateTreeWalker method for reusing TreeWalkers per DOM node
- Update findTextNode and setAtTextRange methods to use cached TreeWalkers
- Add comprehensive performance analysis report documenting bottlenecks

This optimization reduces DOM API overhead during selection operations,
which are among the most frequent operations in the text editor.
