M7: edit grouped Thai text while preserving source formatting

Browse Source 
Add:
- Prepare supported Form placements as original page operators through the
  existing-text UI and text_prepare, with shared-form isolation and undo/redo.
- Repair narrowly identified Thai exporter maps on copied page fonts, recording
  repairs without changing the embedded source glyph programs.

Change:
- Reuse legacy Thai Regular/Bold glyph codes and same-face punctuation subsets;
  retain point size, spacing, horizontal scale, rise, colour and paint settings.
- Keep cross-family Thai replacement explicit and write matching bundled Thai
  subsets through the existing bounded outline path rather than static embedding.
- Keep replacement-only menu choices out of the source-font preview atlas so
  opening an ordinary paragraph does not wait an extra frame for unused fonts.
- Refuse unsafe compositing, tagged or malformed groups, and missing contextual
  glyphs without losing the user's document or changing other placements.

Chores:
- Document the editing limits and headless workflow; keep text-edit parity partial.

Builds on dekkeng's Thai fallback work in #2811 (fba0a29a) and mtlcl410's Form
Ungroup implementation in #3067 (6eafca9c), adapted to the current module layout.
The Ungroup menu and older UI font-priority changes are not included.

Refs #3185, #2964 and #2142. Synthetic regressions cover source-font preservation,
shared forms, unsafe refusals, layout, undo/redo, rendering and save/reopen.

Validation: library suites 1,675 passed; automation integration 331 passed;
document-font integration 2 passed; editor flows 248 passed. Existing ignored
tests remain. Formatting, scoped strict Clippy, layers, assets, parity and wasm
checks passed. The unchanged opacity regression failed before the choice-only
atlas correction and passed afterwards.

# Editing existing text and source subsets
Entering **Edit text and images** prepares supported grouped Form XObjects on the visible
page in an undoable **Prepare grouped text** step. The group's original operators, clip,
placement and resources become page content; shared forms on other pages stay unchanged.
Headless callers use `text_prepare`, then list `text_paragraphs` and call `text_edit`.
This edits existing glyph operators; it adds neither a cover rectangle nor an Add Text box.
Preparation refuses knockout/blended groups, incompatible colour spaces, tagged forms,
recursive forms, unfinished paths and unreadable content. Decoding is capped at 16 MiB,
64 placements and eight expansion levels per page. Unsupported groups remain intact.
A narrowly fingerprinted legacy THSarabunPSK exporter map can also be repaired in copied page
fonts; the repair log records both preparation and character-map recovery.
Click a text region in **Edit a PDF → Edit text and images**. One editor contains its
source rows and mixed styles. Embedded TrueType and OpenType/CFF faces are used in memory;
source font programs, colour, size and baseline anchors stay intact. A textless preview

add a font binary or change the release font pin. Fonts shared by releases belong in
`storytold/craft-fonts` under the repository's asset rules.
**Keep source fonts** retains the existing Thai family, weight and point size. For legacy
THSarabunPSK subsets, PdfCraft reconstructs an editor-only Unicode cmap from the PDF's
Unicode and CID-to-glyph maps. HarfRust uses the retained Thai positional glyphs, and the
saved text refers to the original PDF font resources. Several subsets of the same exact
face can supply Thai and punctuation glyphs; Regular and Bold stay separate. Source font
programs are never modified or replaced. Text settings, including character/word spacing,
horizontal scale, rise, color and paint mode, remain in the PDF text state.
A source subset that lacks a needed contextual glyph produces an error asking for the
complete original face or an explicit replacement. Cross-family replacement requires an
explicit choice. The document-font menu offers **Noto Sans Thai**: pass its `text_fonts`
resource (normally `builtin:thai`) as `text_edit.font_resource` or a range's `font_resource`. This replacement
requires the optional craft-fonts Thai input and currently uses Regular. A matching Noto
subset can still be completed by that same bundled family.
The bundled variable Thai face is written as bounded Type 3 glyph outlines, with shaped
vowel/tone positions and logical Unicode text, rather than embedded as a static font.
Saved paragraphs can be reopened and edited again without installing a font. Modern Thai
shaping uses the source's GPOS mark positioning; GSUB substitution is optional, as specified by
[the OpenType Thai model](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/script-development/thai).
Verified legacy Thai PUA fonts use positional substitutions instead of requiring GPOS.
Mixed contextual style runs and dictionary word segmentation remain limited. No font binary
or release pin changes are needed.
When mixed-style text needs outline fallback, characters using the same actual fallback face
share Type 3 fonts, with at most 240 distinct glyphs per font. Adjacent characters with the same
font and source style are written as one run. Latin characters that the source font can encode
