feat: Implement dual-cursor for Arabic/connected scripts
Implements Phase 4 of the dual-cursor system architecture. This adds hierarchical dual-cursor rendering for Arabic text: - Word-level block: Semi-transparent pink background covering entire connected word - Character-level outline: White 1px outline on specific letter under cursor Changes: - Add CursorLayerType enum for different cursor rendering strategies - Extend Piece class with layerType parameter - Modify measureCursor() to return Piece[] for multi-layer rendering - Add measureArabicDualCursor() function for dual-layer measurement - Update CSS theme with Arabic-specific cursor styles - Refine script detection to exclude only punctuation (not diacritics) - Ensure spaces/whitespace always treated as word boundaries - Fix neutral character detection: inherit script type but not special cursor - Only show dual-cursor for connected words (2+ Arabic characters) - Fix character positioning using coordsForChar for accurate RTL placement Visual design: - Focused Arabic (connected word): Semi-transparent pink word block + white char outline - Focused Arabic (isolated char): Standard transparent cursor - Focused Latin: Solid pink block with white text (opaque) - Focused neutral (punctuation, numbers): Standard transparent cursor - Unfocused: Pink outline for all (character outline hidden for Arabic) Performance: Word boundary detection O(n) where n ≤ 100 characters Tested: ✅ Dual-cursor renders correctly on Arabic connected words Tested: ✅ Word boundaries respect punctuation and spaces Tested: ✅ Navigation (hjkl) tracks correctly through Arabic words Tested: ✅ Single isolated Arabic characters use standard cursor Tested: ✅ Neutral characters (# punctuation) use standard cursor Tested: ✅ Character outline positioned correctly within word block Related to #248
