fix(ui): keep the rich editor available for angle-bracket prose (#12290)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work
> - People use the rich markdown editor to write task descriptions,
comments, and agent instructions
> - The editor disables HTML processing, but the markdown parser still
treats some angle-bracket text as HTML
> - A value such as `<name>` could therefore stop the rich editor and
show the raw-source fallback
> - The retry action used the same input, so it could not recover
> - This pull request escapes unsupported angle brackets only while the
editor processes the value
> - The benefit is that the rich editor works and stored markdown stays
unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes: #12197

Related prior attempt: #2696

**What happened?**

The rich markdown editor did not start when prose contained a bare angle
bracket, such as `<name>`. It showed the raw-source fallback. The retry
action repeated the same failure.

**Expected behavior**

The rich editor starts for normal prose. It stores the text in its clean
form because agent prompts can use this text.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task description, comment, or other field that uses the rich
markdown editor.
2. Enter `Rename <name> to the real name`.
3. Reload the field.
4. Observe the raw-source fallback.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at d785b1921.

**Deployment mode**

All modes. The defect is in the UI package.

## What Changed

- Escape only angle brackets that the parser treats as unsupported HTML
constructs.
- Restore the clean markdown before the editor sends a value to its
parent.
- Keep code, autolinks, link destinations, and existing escapes
unchanged.
- Apply the same conversion to pasted and inserted markdown.
- Make the empty-editor fallback wait for editor initialization and
confirm the empty state.
- Re-arm the initial empty-change guard when the user retries the
editor.
- Add `MDE-PARSE`, `MDE-RENDER`, and `MDE-EMPTY` fallback codes.
- Correct the editor mock and add regression tests for parsing, round
trips, paste, insert, retry, and fallback behavior.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/angle-bracket-markdown.test.ts
ui/src/lib/blockquote-markdown.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx` — 106 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — reports nine existing color findings in
`ui/src/components/onboarding/PillGuy.tsx`. This pull request does not
change that file.
- `pnpm test:run` — the local run found four existing port-allocation
failures in unrelated workspace-runtime tests. The focused editor tests
passed. The pull request CI runs these suites on clean workers.

## Risks

- Low data risk. The conversion applies only while MDXEditor processes a
value. Stored markdown keeps the clean form.
- The scanner skips code, autolinks, link destinations, and existing
escapes to prevent content changes.
- The raw-source fallback can appear about 300 ms later because it now
confirms that the editor stayed empty.
- There is no database or API change.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- Original implementation: Anthropic Claude Opus, 1M context, with
agentic tool use in Claude Code.
- PR preparation and verification: OpenAI Codex with GPT-5, reasoning,
code execution, and tool use. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)

#` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant
issue template

links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip`
URLs)
- [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`)
and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green
- [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

/**
* The rich markdown editor mounts MDXEditor with `suppressHtmlProcessing`, which
* strips the HTML visitor out of the import pipeline. Anything the markdown
* parser tokenizes as an HTML construct therefore arrives with no visitor able
* to handle it and throws `UnrecognizedMarkdownConstructError`, dropping the
* whole component into its raw-source fallback.
*
* The parser opens an HTML construct on a bare `<` followed by a letter, `!`,
* `/` or `?` which is ordinary prose, not markup: a `<name>` placeholder, an
* inline `</close>`, an `<!-- note -->`. `escapeUnsupportedAngleBrackets`
* rewrites exactly those `<` to `\<` on the way into the editor so the parser
* sees literal text, and `unescapeAngleBracketEscapes` reverses it on the way
* out so the stored value keeps its clean, human-authored form. These fields
* feed agent prompts, so the escape is a transport detail that must never
* survive into storage.
*
* The pair is byte-lossless across the editor's own parse/serialize round trip:
* `mdast-util-to-markdown` re-escapes `<` to `\<` in precisely the contexts
* escaped here, and in no others (`<=` stays bare; code spans and code blocks
* are never escaped).
*
* One deliberate normalization: markdown that *already* contains `\<name>` is
* left alone on the way in and comes back out as `<name>`, because both forms
* mean the same literal text and the clean form is what this product stores.
* That only happens when the user actually edits the field.
*
* Contexts skipped, because the parser does not open an HTML construct there
* and rewriting would corrupt the content:
* - fenced code blocks (including fences carried by blockquote/list prefixes)
* - indented code blocks
* - inline code spans (matched backtick runs only an unmatched or
* backslash-escaped backtick is literal text and protects nothing)
* - autolinks: `<scheme:...>` and `<user@host>`
* - pointed-bracket link destinations: `](<...>)`
* - an already-escaped `\<`
*
* Fence tracking mirrors `blockquote-markdown.ts`. The two scanners stay
* separate on purpose: that one only inspects the leading marker of a line,
* while this one has to classify every line as code or inline content and then
* walk the inline runs character by character.
