What does this PR do?

Adds markdown preview mode with Code/Preview toggle tabs and Mermaid diagram rendering to the file viewer.

File viewer changes (packages/app/src/pages/session/file-tabs.tsx):

  • Detects markdown files by extension (.md, .markdown, .mdx)
  • Shows Code/Preview segmented toggle tabs (absolute positioned top-right) for markdown files only
  • Preview mode renders markdown using the existing <Markdown> component
  • Source mode preserves syntax highlighting, line selection, comments, and search
  • Scroll position is preserved when switching between Code and Preview

Markdown rendering changes (packages/ui/src/components/markdown.tsx):

  • Extracts ```mermaid code blocks from source before marked.parse() to prevent shiki from intercepting them
  • After morphdom patches the live DOM, dynamically imports mermaid and renders SVG diagrams directly into the container
  • Mermaid blocks are rendered with securityLevel: "strict" and dark theme
  • Added SVG-related tags and attributes to DOMPurify allowlist

Marked config (packages/ui/src/context/marked.tsx):

  • Removed unused Token import

How did you verify your code works?

  • Typecheck passes for both packages/ui and packages/app
  • Vite build succeeds (mermaid is code-split into its own chunk)
  • Opened a .md file — Code/Preview tabs appear
  • Clicked Preview — markdown renders with headings, code blocks, links, LaTeX
  • Mermaid diagrams (flowchart, sequence, gantt) render as SVG
  • Clicked Code — returns to raw source view, scroll position preserved
  • Opened a non-markdown file — no tabs shown, behavior unchanged

PR #22079: feat(app): add markdown preview/source toggle for file tabs
#22079

Reason: This PR appears to address the exact same feature — adding a markdown preview/source toggle for file tabs. Both PRs implement a toggle mechanism to switch between viewing markdown files in preview mode and raw source mode in the file viewer.

Recommend checking PR #22079 to confirm if it's already merged, closed, or if the current PR (#29684) is intended as an updated implementation.
