iOS Safari contenteditable — do not force re-render or change selection during input
On iOS Safari, input and beforeinput can fire with inputType 'insertText' multiple times (e.g. voice dictation) or with inputType undefined/null. Forcing re-render or changing selection during this flow desyncs the editor model from the DOM and can permanently break subsequent input.
