Review commit ae6764f9a9c8606690af504337be55e2fa347540 and trace how node information reaches editorExtension. Inspect where nodes are converted to const and determine which information becomes inaccessible. Done means the intended behavior is agreed and the editorExtension handoff reflects that decision.

Description

With commit ae6764f9a9c8606690af504337be55e2fa347540, Node information is passed to editorExtension. This is clearly a needed functionality. The issue is, the nodes first converted to "const" before passing. This makes accessing some information hard or impossible. I need to check if this is the behaviour we want.
