feat(ast-engine): support TAB indentation parsing (#100)

* feat(ast-engine): support TAB indentation parsing

* Added `get_tab` utility function for parsing tab characters from content.
* Refactored `get_indent_at_offset` to handle tabs by returning `is_tab` along with indent offset.
* Handled the stripping and insertion of mixed-tabs vs space indent characters properly inside `remove_indent` and `indent_lines_impl`.
* Plumbed the `is_tab` boolean down through `formatted_slice` and `indent_lines`.
* Updated tests in `indent.rs` to exercise proper TAB character extraction and re-indentation rules.

* feat(ast-engine): fix CI failure for rustfmt

Fixed formatting issue in `crates/ast-engine/src/replacer/indent.rs` and `crates/ast-engine/src/replacer/template.rs` that was flagged by `cargo fmt --all -- --config-path ./rustfmt.toml --check` in the CI pipeline.

* fix(ast-engine): fix clippy warnings in indent.rs

Fixed missing backticks in doc comments and replaced slice allocations (`&[var.clone()]`) with `std::slice::from_ref` inside `crates/ast-engine/src/replacer/indent.rs` to satisfy clippy linters.

Co-authored-by: bashandbone <89049923+bashandbone@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: fix clippy errors in flow and language crates

Fixed an unused variable warning in `crates/language/src/lib.rs` and collapsed an if-let statement in `crates/flow/src/incremental/analyzer.rs` as mandated by clippy.

* fix(ast-engine): correct TAB indentation detection and re-indentation behavior (#101)

* Initial plan

* fix(ast-engine): address review comments on TAB indentation support

- template.rs:119: use *indent/*is_tab (Copy types) instead of .to_owned()
- indent.rs: fix get_indent_at_offset_with_tab to only set is_tab=true
  for pure-tab indentation; mixed indentation falls back to spaces
- indent.rs:331: use get_indent_at_offset_with_tab in test_deindent
  for accurate is_tab detection instead of source.contains('\t')
- indent.rs:104-106: update doc comments to reflect tab/mixed support

* fix(ast-engine): use byte indices in test_deindent helper

Replace .chars().count() with str::trim_start/trim_end length
arithmetic so start/end are byte offsets throughout, making the
helper correct for non-ASCII / multi-byte UTF-8 input.
