Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the linked editing (mirror cursor) feature for JSX elements in TypeScript/VS Code. Focus on the case where the tag name (e.g., 'B') is deleted and then characters are typed. Trace the logic that handles mirrored cursors and identify why it stops working after the deletion.
