秦奇 c201ba2fcb perf(cli): code-split lowlight to cut startup V8 parse cost
Move the syntax-highlight engine out of the synchronously-parsed cli.js
entry into a separately-emitted chunk and load it via dynamic import on
the first code-block render. Until the chunk arrives, code blocks render
as plain text; the next React commit of the surrounding subtree picks up
the highlighted version, so users never see incorrect highlighting –
just an imperceptibly later transition for the very first code block.

Mechanics:
- esbuild config: switch entry to outdir + splitting:true so that
  `await import('lowlight')` produces an actual on-disk chunk that's
  only parsed by V8 when first needed.
- esbuild-shims: rename injected __dirname/__filename to qwen-prefixed
  symbols + use `define` to redirect free references. Previous inject
  collided with vendored libraries (yargs) that ship their own
  `var __dirname` ESM-compat polyfill once splitting flattens chunks.
- prepare-package: include the new chunks/ directory in the published
  package's files list.
- CodeColorizer: keep the public colorize{Code,Line} signatures and HAST
  rendering identical; on first call when the chunk hasn't loaded it
  returns the plain line and fires the dynamic import via a tiny
  standalone loader module.
- lowlightLoader (new): isolates the lazy-load surface to a module with
  zero transitive imports (no themeManager, settings, or core). This
  lets test-setup prime the cache without dragging the whole UI module
  graph into every test file, which was observed to perturb theme and
  settings test outcomes when CodeColorizer was imported directly.
- test-setup: await loadLowlight() once via the standalone loader so
  synchronous snapshot tests see the highlighted output deterministically.

Measurements (real $HOME, n=15 interleaved A/B vs main HEAD, macOS):

| Metric             | Before (mean±sd ms) | After (mean±sd ms) | Δ        | t      | p        |
| ------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------ | -------- | ------ | -------- |
| firstByte (wall)   | 1633.5 ± 88.7       | 1475.8 ± 73.3      | -157.7   | 5.31   | 1.33e-5  |
| idle (wall)        | 2048.7 ± 93.6       | 1902.3 ± 80.2      | -146.3   | 4.60   | 8.71e-5  |
| cli.js size        | 25 MB               | 6.9 MB             | -18.1 MB | —      | —        |

Both metrics clear the +50ms-or-10% Welch's t-test bar by an order of
magnitude. cli.js drops 72%; total payload (cli.js + chunks/) is
similar but only cli.js is parsed at module-eval time, which is the
phase that dominates the user-visible startup gap.

How to validate:
  npm run bundle
  ls dist/                         # cli.js + chunks/lowlight-*.js
  node dist/cli.js -y              # interactive UI still renders
