Add support for Helix editor keybindings in the REPL, providing users with a modern, selection-first modal editing experience as an alternative to Vim, Emacs, and VSCode keybindings. Helix Keybindings Integration: - Add codemirror-helix@^0.5.0 dependency to @strudel/codemirror - Import and register helix keybindings in keybindings.mjs - Add 'Helix' option to keybindings selector in Settings UI - Create comprehensive user documentation at technical-manual/helix.mdx - Update developer documentation with keybinding integration pattern The Helix mode provides selection-first editing (select → action) which differs from Vim's action-motion paradigm, offering an alternative workflow for modal editing enthusiasts. Documentation: - Update CLAUDE.md with Helix support and keybinding addition process - Create helix.mdx with user-facing documentation and command reference - Update CHANGELOG.md with December 2025 entry Testing: Run `pnpm i` to install new dependencies, then `pnpm dev` to test. Verify Helix mode works in Settings → Keybindings → Helix.
