August 2025: Restored CodeMirror editor change-tracking in earsketch-webclient to ensure edits are properly registered and callbacks fire; added a Cypress regression test to guard against future regressions; synchronized Redux state on edits by updating the script source, marking the script as modified, and resetting the script match status with the DAW. Commit 1b5b0668343e6f546d485724de57b5483225c08f implements Bug fix: editor change tracking (#730). Business impact: improves reliability of the editor UX, reduces risk of silent edits, and strengthens the integration between the editor, state management, and the DAW. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CodeMirror, Redux state management, Cypress testing, frontend debugging, and DAW integration.
