fix(files): render the file-viewer placeholder through the live node views

The collaborative markdown viewer painted a static generateHTML placeholder while
the Yjs doc seeded, then swapped to the live editor. generateHTML runs only schema
renderHTML — never the React node views or the ProseMirror decoration plugins — so
every node whose live appearance comes from a node view or a decoration rendered
differently in the placeholder and visibly repainted on the swap: syntax highlighting
popped in, mention-chip icons shifted their labels, mermaid blocks jumped from source
to diagram, and media embeds appeared out of nowhere.

Render the placeholder through a read-only editor that shares the live editor's
extension set instead. It uses the same node views and decoration plugins, so the
placeholder is pixel-identical to the live editor and the swap neither repaints nor
reflows — highlighting, mention icons, images, mermaid (via its existing SVG cache),
and embeds (which already reserve their aspect-ratio box) all render up front. The
placeholder editor carries no Collaboration extension, Y.Doc, or awareness, so it
structurally cannot write to the shared document, preserving the seed-only-on-server
invariant; editable={false} disables every editing affordance.
