🤖 Migrate markdown rendering to streamdown (#400)

Replaces `react-markdown` with `streamdown`, a drop-in replacement
specifically designed for streaming AI content.

## Changes

- **Core migration**: Replaced `react-markdown` with `streamdown` in
`MarkdownCore.tsx`
- **Security upgrade**: Replaced `rehype-sanitize` with `rehype-harden`
for improved security
- **Styling integration**: Added streamdown source path to Tailwind v4
config (`globals.css`)
- **Plugin configuration**: Updated to use typed `Pluggable[]` arrays
matching streamdown's API
- **Streaming optimization**: Enabled `parseIncompleteMarkdown` for
better handling of incomplete markdown blocks during AI streaming
- **Cleanup**: Removed `react-markdown` and `rehype-sanitize`
dependencies

## Benefits

Streamdown provides enhanced functionality while maintaining full
compatibility:

- **Better streaming**: Handles unterminated markdown blocks gracefully
(bold, italic, code, links, headings)
- **Security-first**: Uses `rehype-harden` with safe defaults for
link/image prefixes
- **Performance**: Built with streaming in mind, optimized for
token-by-token updates
- **Compatibility**: Drop-in replacement with the same API as
`react-markdown`
- **Features**: Includes GFM, math rendering (KaTeX), and HTML support
out of the box

All existing custom components (code highlighting with Shiki, Mermaid
diagrams, custom styling) work without changes.

## Testing

- ✅ Type checking passes (`make typecheck`)
- ✅ Unit tests pass (`make test`)
- ✅ Build succeeds (`make build`)
