✨ Add syntax highlighting and improve markdown rendering in chat view

Integrate SyntaxHighlighter for code blocks to provide language-aware
coloring instead of plain green text. Improve inline formatting by
adding proper spacing before/after emphasis, strong, strikethrough,
and links to prevent text from running together.

Additional enhancements:
- Support markdown tables with cell rendering and dividers
- Underline links for visual distinction
- Preserve leading/trailing whitespace during text wrapping
- Add needs_space_before helper for clean span concatenation
