Fix adjacent Markdown paragraph concatenation

[be-student]

Summary

Preserve a blank-line run between sibling block-level Markdown nodes so adjacent paragraphs written to one record do not concatenate. The Markdown transcoding specification now records that flat-RichText boundary.

Why is this change useful?

write_record({ markdown: "Paragraph one.\n\nParagraph two." }) previously stored Paragraph one.Paragraph two. and silently changed the content.

Dataset assumptions

Not applicable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Markdown write path now preserves blank-line boundaries between adjacent root-level blocks. The transcoder inserts \n\n runs, and regression tests verify both rich-text content and Markdown round trips.

Changes

Markdown paragraph boundary preservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Root run separation src/lib/data/markdown-transcode.ts, docs/specifications/markdown-transcoding.md	Root Markdown nodes are processed independently. Non-empty block outputs receive \n\n separators. The specification documents this behavior.
Boundary regression coverage src/lib/data/markdown-transcode.test.ts, src/lib/services/services.test.ts	Tests verify that adjacent paragraphs preserve their separator in rich-text content and escaped Markdown output.

Nested Markdown content such as multi-paragraph blockquotes can still lose paragraph boundaries when stored. Resolve this content-preservation regression before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve separators in nested block containers.

collectRootRuns adds \n\n only between root children. The default branch in collectRuns appends children of containers such as blockquote directly, so > Paragraph one.\n>\n> Paragraph two. becomes Paragraph one.Paragraph two.. Apply the block-sibling separator logic to nested block containers, but do not separate inline children of paragraph, strong, or link.
