💡 What: Implements the factory function pattern () => HTMLElement for Decoration.widget in the cursor plugin and derives key attributes deterministically from underlying properties rather than a global counter.
🎯 Why: ProseMirror reuses DOM nodes for decorations if the key matches, avoiding layout thrashing. The previous implementation changed the key on every keystroke, forcing full tree recreation and synchronous evaluation before render.
📊 Impact: Eliminates expensive DOM layout calculations and repaints on every keystroke, significantly improving editing performance, especially with multiple active collaborative cursors.
🔬 Measurement: Verify editing smoothness in a document with several simulated cursors. The improvement is evident in reduced CPU time spent in layout/paint during tracing.

This commit implements the factory function pattern for `Decoration.widget` in the cursor plugin to enable DOM node recycling and prevent severe layout thrashing. It replaces a global incrementing counter that forced full recreation of DOM nodes with deterministic string keys derived from cursor properties (e.g., ID, position, opacity, connectionState). This significantly improves performance during collaborative editing by minimizing expensive DOM layouts on every keystroke.

This commit implements the factory function pattern for `Decoration.widget` in the cursor plugin to enable DOM node recycling and prevent severe layout thrashing. It replaces a global incrementing counter that forced full recreation of DOM nodes with deterministic string keys derived from cursor properties (e.g., ID, position, opacity, connectionState). This significantly improves performance during collaborative editing by minimizing expensive DOM layouts on every keystroke.

In addition, it fixes a CI pipeline issue caused by a deprecated GitHub Action (`pozil/auto-assign-issue@v1` bumped to `v2`) and resolves a syntax error in a Nix test file that broke `statix check`.
