This PR simplifies the frontend codebase by removing the dual-path system for handling study document updates. It standardizes on the event-driven patch mechanism regardless of whether Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) is enabled, eliminating the legacy auto-save timer and polling-based approach.

• Removes the eventDrivenPatch() utility function and its conditional logic throughout the codebase
• Eliminates auto-save timers and saving timers that were used for the non-event-driven approach
• Consolidates node change handling to use only the event-driven projectDocumentChanged mechanism
