fix(#4725): write normalization preserves tight paragraph-list shape (#4842)

* test(#4725): write normalization must not reflow untouched prose (failing first)

* fix(#4725): stop write normalization injecting a blank before a list after prose

* test(#4725): repair ordered-list fixture and list-spacing snapshot

* test(#4725): assert whole-file prose stability, fix heading-list comment

* chore(#4725): backfill changeset PR number (4842)

**Markdown writes no longer insert a blank line between a paragraph and a following list** — every .md write re-normalized the whole document and split tight paragraph→list transitions, reflowing prose the command never touched (e.g. `roadmap.update-plan-progress` editing unrelated phase-section prose). Tight lists now stay byte-identical on disk. (#4725)
