feat(demo): modular showcase replacing monolithic trio script

- Split trio.ts into showcase.ts + alice.ts / bob.ts / carol.ts and a
lib/ of reusable helpers (chat-actions, publish-flow, positions,
chromium, recording, scaffolding, editor-actions, selection,
embed-studio).
- Drift-proof link/citation/rephrase actions: target positions are
resolved at dispatch time against the live doc instead of at event
receipt time, so concurrent peer edits no longer shift the range.
- verifyFinalDoc post-run collision check to surface cases where two
personas stepped on each other's slots.
- test-actions.ts for isolated regression runs.
- Chromium launched with en-US locale + --disable-features=Translate
so the Chrome translate prompt never appears; published article is
opened in-place in Alice's existing fullscreen window.
- .gitignore: demo/recordings/ is now ignored.

+/**
+ * Alice - the "hero" persona for the showcase demo.
+ *
+ * Alice owns the window that gets recorded. Her flow:
+ *   1. Seed title + subtitle via the frontmatter inputs.
+ *   2. Register the first author (Hugging Face) so Bob / Carol
+ *      can gate on that before appending their own co-authors.
+ *   3. Drop a neural-network banner through the Embed Studio
+ *      agent flow.
+ *   4. Write the full scaffold (3 sections with pre-allocated
+ *      paragraph slots) so every peer has stable anchors.
+ *   5. Type the Intuition middle section with inline `$$Q$$`,
+ *      `$$K$$`, `$$V$$` atoms.
+ *   6. Demo the bubble-toolbar Bold UI on a key phrase.
+ *   7. Ask the chat agent to rephrase the closing intuition line
+ *      (typewriter rewrite via AgentRewrite).
+ *   8. Scroll to top, drag the Hue slider live so the banner
+ *      retints on camera.
+ *   9. Fire the real Publish pipeline and land on the rendered
+ *      output.

+/**
+ * lib/positions.ts
+ *
+ * Collaboration-safe typing anchors (MappablePosition tracker).
+ *
+ * The `focusNthParagraphInSection` helper places the PM caret once, but
+ * in a multi-persona CRDT demo the caret drifts as soon as ANOTHER
+ * persona inserts text before it: Yjs rebases the ProseMirror selection
+ * by the net length of remote edits, and the typing persona ends up
+ * typing INSIDE somebody else's paragraph (code fence, equation,
+ * heading...).
+ *
+ * The robust fix is to track each persona's target as a
+ * `MappablePosition`, which Tiptap's Collaboration extension backs with
+ * a Y.js relative position (a stable semantic pointer that survives
+ * concurrent edits). BETWEEN `humanType` calls we re-resolve the mapped
+ * position (`MP.position + typed`) and reset PM's selection to it;
+ * WITHIN a humanType call we trust PM to advance the caret naturally.
+ *
+ * Why not re-anchor on every keystroke? The CollaborationMappablePosition
+ * uses Y.js `assoc = -1` (left-biased), so local inserts do NOT advance
+ * `MP.position`. If we re-seated the caret to `MP.position` before every
+ * char, every new character would be inserted at the same spot - typing
+ * "Hello" would produce "olleH". The counter trick (mp + typed, synced
+ * from PM's selection head after each humanType) is both simpler and
+ * correct.
+ *
+ * Docs:
+ * - https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/api/utilities/position
+ * - Collaboration extension auto-upgrades createMappablePosition() to
+ *   return a CollaborationMappablePosition when Y.js is connected.

+ * How the lookup works
+ * --------------------
+ * We find the `<p>` whose textContent contains `paragraphSnippet`,

+ * text-node boundaries.
+ *
+ * Limitations
+ * -----------
+ * The substring MUST be plain text within the paragraph - it cannot
+ * cross an inline atom (math node, mention, image). `textContent`
+ * emits the atom's placeholder, which `indexOf` would match on while
+ * the DOM offsets would skip it. For "bold the three symbols"-style
+ * demos, target a clean phrase that doesn't straddle `$$...$$`.
+ *
+ * Side effects
+ * ------------
+ * On success, also seeds PM's selection AND broadcasts the range as

+ * tinted range (same UX as when the chat panel opens over a manual

+/**

+ *
+ * Three-persona collaboration showcase for recording a mini product
+ * video. An empty article gets turned into a compact research piece
+ * on Transformer attention by three agents working in concert:
+ *
+ *   - Bob    writes "The recipe" (top): definition, block-math
+ *            formula, softmax explanation. Mid-cycle he fires a
+ *            chat citation tool call that adds the Vaswani 2017
+ *            paper to the bibliography.
+ *   - Alice  (hero window) writes "Intuition" (middle): an analogy
+ *            with inline $Q$ / $K$ / $V$, bolds a key phrase via the
+ *            in-editor bubble toolbar, then asks the chat agent to
+ *            rephrase the closing line (AgentRewrite typewriter).
+ *            At the end she scrolls to the top, slowly drags the
+ *            Hue slider (warm yellow -> cool blue, article retints
+ *            live including the neural-net banner), clicks
+ *            Publish, waits for the SSE pipeline to succeed, and
+ *            finally clicks "View published article" so the
+ *            recording ends on the real rendered output - the
+ *            "ship it" payoff.
+ *   - Carol  writes "In Python" (bottom): intro line, link action
+ *            on "PyTorch" (points at the real
+ *            scaled_dot_product_attention docs), 8-line code
+ *            block, Vaswani closing line.
+ *
+ * Three authors (Hugging Face, MIT/ETH Zurich, Stanford), a neural
+ * network banner, a live hue drag, three agent tool-calls (bubble
+ * bold + chat rephrase + citation + link), and a real publish
+ * (Publishing... Rendering HTML... Rasterizing embeds...
+ * Published!) land in a ~60s budget.
+ *
+ * By default:
+ *   - Alice is the "hero" window (visible). This is what you record.
+ *   - Bob and Carol run headless. Their yjs cursors, comments and
+ *     edits appear in Alice's window as if real teammates joined.
+ *
+ * Flags:
+ *   --all-visible   Launch Bob and Carol visibly too (debug layout).
+ *   --record        Recording-friendly mode for Alice (no toolbar /
+ *                   tabs / URL bar / automation banner, OS
+ *                   fullscreen, persistent context). Bob and Carol
+ *                   are forced headless. A 5s countdown gives you
+ *                   time to start your screen recorder.
+ *   --capture       macOS only. Implies --record. Automatically
+ *                   starts `screencapture -v` before the demo and
+ *                   stops it when the scenario ends. The resulting
+ *                   .mov is saved under demo/recordings/. First run

+/**
+ * demo/test-actions.ts
+ *
+ * Fast isolated regression test for the "scripted agent actions"
+ * (link, citation) that the showcase demo dispatches over `__demo-chat`.
+ *
+ * Why standalone
+ * --------------
+ * Running `showcase.ts` end-to-end takes ~40s and mixes 3 personas, Yjs
+ * sync and chat animations. When an action breaks (e.g. PyTorch is
+ * mis-linked because positions drifted), we need to iterate in a
+ * ~5s feedback loop. This file owns exactly one browser, seeds a
+ * known doc state via the Tiptap API, simulates the drift conditions
+ * on purpose, and asserts the post-action doc shape.
+ *
+ * Cases covered
+ * -------------
+ *   1. link_clean:      no upstream edit -> link must land on "PyTorch".
+ *   2. link_drift:      an upstream insertion shifts every position by
+ *                       N chars BEFORE the link event fires with the
+ *                       pre-capture range. Reproduces the user-reported
+ *                       "PyTorch pas bien transformé en lien" bug and
+ *                       will pass only when App.tsx re-resolves the
+ *                       range against the live doc at dispatch time.
+ *   3. citation_clean:  insert `[Vaswani et al., 2017]` at end of a
+ *                       paragraph; bibliography section appears.
+ *   4. citation_drift:  upstream insertion shifts the caret before the
+ *                       citation event fires. Will pass once App.tsx
+ *                       accepts a paragraph-anchor fallback.
+ *
+ * Run (frontend on :5678, backend on :8080 must be up):
+ *   cd backend && npx tsx demo/test-actions.ts
