Update splittext plan with CSS, a11y, SEO, BiDi, nesting, and line detection amendments

[tombigel]

• Add base CSS strategy (injectStyles, space handling, direction detection)
• Simplify ARIA to container-level only
• Add SEO strategy with preserveText visually-hidden duplicate
• Add BiDi/shaping injection options (bidiResolver, shaper)
• Add nested option (flatten/preserve/depth) for DOM structure control
• Make line detection opt-in and note binary-search algorithm improvement
• Add Safari whitespace normalization test results and Playwright test case

Pull request overview

Updates the SplitText package implementation plan to incorporate new strategies for base CSS injection, accessibility/SEO handling, BiDi/shaping extensibility, nested DOM handling, and opt-in line detection (including Safari/WebKit whitespace quirks and a Playwright test case).

Changes:

• Makes line detection explicitly opt-in and documents a more efficient binary-search-based approach.
• Adds plan-level API/options for CSS injection, preserveText for SEO/a11y, nested DOM handling, and BiDi/shaping injection points.
• Expands testing/documentation sections (Safari whitespace normalization notes + Playwright test case, wrapper/CSS guidance).

• SplitTextResult is typed as returning HTMLSpanElement[], but the implementation sketch (cache + getters + _performSplit) uses HTMLElement[]. This should be consistent (ideally HTMLSpanElement[] everywhere, since wrappers are spans), otherwise the public API typing and internals will diverge.

  private _cache: {
    chars?: HTMLElement[];
    words?: HTMLElement[];
    lines?: HTMLElement[];
    sentences?: HTMLElement[];
  } = {};

  constructor(element: HTMLElement, options?: SplitTextOptions) {
    this._element = element;
    this._originalHTML = element.innerHTML;

    // Eager split if type is provided; track whether 'lines' was requested (lines are opt-in and expensive)
    this._linesRequested = false;
    if (options?.type) {
      const types = Array.isArray(options.type) ? options.type : [options.type];
      this._linesRequested = types.includes('lines');
      for (const type of types) {
        this._performSplit(type);
      }
    }
  }

  // Lazy getter - split on first access, return cached thereafter
  get chars(): HTMLElement[] {
    if (!this._cache.chars) {
      this._cache.chars = this._performSplit('chars');
    }
    return this._cache.chars;
  }

  get words(): HTMLElement[] {
    if (!this._cache.words) {
      this._cache.words = this._performSplit('words');
    }
    return this._cache.words;
  }

  get lines(): HTMLElement[] {
    if (!this._linesRequested) return []; // or throw with message: "Lines not requested; pass type: 'lines' or type: [..., 'lines']"
    if (!this._cache.lines) {
      this._cache.lines = this._performSplit('lines');
    }
    return this._cache.lines;
  }

  get sentences(): HTMLElement[] {
    if (!this._cache.sentences) {
      this._cache.sentences = this._performSplit('sentences');
    }
    return this._cache.sentences;
  }

  private _performSplit(type: 'chars' | 'words' | 'lines' | 'sentences'): HTMLElement[] {
    // Actual splitting logic - creates wrapper elements in DOM
    // Returns array of created HTMLElements
  }
