fix(coding-agent): preserve indentation in rendered diffs (#9274)
## Problem

The edit tool's intra-line renderer can drop indentation from a removed
line when text is inserted before otherwise unchanged content.

For example, this input:

```diff
-83   await commitRecordingChunk({
+83   const result = await commitRecordingChunk({
```

was rendered as:

```diff
-83 await commitRecordingChunk({
+83   const result = await commitRecordingChunk({
```

`diffWords()` groups the shared leading spaces into the added segment
(`" const result = "`). The existing highlighting logic moved those
spaces outside inverse styling, but only appended them to the added
line.

## Solution

Extract whitespace shared by both lines before calling `diffWords()`,
then initialize both rendered lines with that prefix. This preserves
indentation without changing the existing word-level highlighting
behavior. The existing handling for whitespace that belongs to only one
side remains unchanged.

Added regression coverage for:

- insertion before indented content;
- replacement within indented content;
- keeping shared indentation outside inverse highlighting.

## Validation

- `npm run check`
- `./test.sh`
- targeted `packages/coding-agent/test/diff.test.ts` (3 tests)
