fix(stringify): fix renderMarkdown round-trip losses from #525 - #527
Fixes the renderMarkdown round-trip losses from #525: task items in loose lists lose their text (case 1), code blocks lose trailing blank lines and spaces (case 5), and components named table, comment, math, template or mermaid are dropped or rewritten as built-in syntax (cases 2–4; mermaid had the same bug but wasn't in the issue). Each fix is its own commit with its own SPEC fixtures, so they can be reviewed or reverted one at a time.
Why
renderMarkdown is being used as the save path for a WYSIWYG editor, so anything it drops is lost user content. For the component collisions, the issue suggests checking the component name against the built-in handlers. That would also send real tables and math to the component writer, so this PR does it the other way round. Each built-in handler checks whether the node looks like what the parser produces for its own syntax (table rows, a null comment tag, the math class or content, a slot name, mermaid content), and passes anything else to the component writer.
Notes for review
SPEC/COMARK/shiki-codeblock-twoslash.md: the expected Markdown now ends with a blank line before the closing fence. twoslash removes the // ^? line and leaves an empty last line, which the old trimEnd() was hiding. Plain shiki blocks are unaffected.
test/math.test.ts: the hand-built ['math', {}, 'x^2'] node is exactly what :math[x^2] parses to, so both can't be written as $x^2$. The test node now has the content attribute the parser always sets (and the framework Math components require), and a new test covers the component form. A tool that builds bare math nodes would now get :math[x^2].
comment.ts writes the fallback inline instead of importing the shared component.ts helper, because comark/render/html imports comment.ts and its bundle test forbids loading other handlers.
Loose lists still come back tight (blank lines between items are dropped). That is existing behavior for ordinary lists too and the tree is unchanged, so it's left out of this PR.
Case 7 (callout title on the marker line) needs a decision about where the title is stored in the tree, and that change reaches every framework renderer. I'll follow up separately.
In a loose list the checkbox opens the item's first paragraph; the handler dropped that whole paragraph. Also measure continuation indent before the checkbox, so nested blocks get 2 spaces instead of 6.
Refs #525
A table without thead/tbody/tr rows is a ::table component, not an empty GFM table. Also drop the mdc special case that wrote every table as HTML.

Walkthrough
The change updates Markdown serialization for component nodes, task-list items, and fenced code content. Component handlers delegate nodes that do not match built-in representations. Task-list serialization handles checkboxes in tight and loose items. Code serialization retains trailing whitespace and blank lines.
Component handlers delegate nodes that do not match their built-in representations to the component handler. Specification fixtures cover inline and block component forms.
List-item serialization recognizes checkboxes in tight and loose items and adjusts continuation indentation. GFM fixtures cover nested blocks and checked and unchecked items.
comarkdown/comark#525: The changes cover several reported Markdown round-trip losses, including task-list items, trailing code-block whitespace, and component names that overlap with built-in syntax.
Suggested reviewers:atinux, larbish, hendrikheil
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 1f426
The PR fixes several round-trip losses for code blocks, task lists and built-in component names. Its shape checks for table, template and mermaid components still miss some inputs. A malformed ::table can be erased on save. A named top-level ::template can be rewritten as slot syntax. A ::mermaid component with a content prop can lose its body. These should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

typeof node[1].content === 'string' treats a :math component as math
A user writing :math[x]{content="y"} parses to ['math', {content:'y'}, 'x']; the guard in math.ts sees a string content, takes the math branch and writes $x$, dropping the content="y" attribute and the component syntax.
Fix: Only route to math when classes.includes('math'), or require both the class and a string content, and update the classless-node test in test/math.test.ts accordingly.

Distinguish Mermaid fences from components with a string content prop.
A ::mermaid{content="graph TD"} component with a child body reaches state.handlers.mermaid by tag. Its string content passes the current discriminator, so the fence serializer uses only the attribute and drops the child body. Check the native fence shape or preserve syntax origin before emitting a fence.
This is not a new regression because the base handler always emitted a fence. It remains an incomplete round-trip fix for Mermaid components.

Require a valid table row before using the table serializer.
A :thead[custom] child passes the current guard, but it contains no tr. The table handler then returns '', so saving the component removes its content. Route components without usable rows through component, which preserves their children.

Treat top-level named template components as components.
::template{name="hero"} does not satisfy the typeof attrs.name !== 'string' condition. It enters the slot path and emits #hero. The slot parser runs only inside a component block, so reparsing this output loses the top-level component. Check the parent context before emitting slot syntax.
