728584240c Fix touch, cursor and accessibility in slider
This commit improves the horizontal slider between the generated code
area and the script list. It enhances interaction, accessibility and
performance. It provides missing touch responsiveness, improves
accessibility by using better HTML semantics, introduces throttling and
refactors cursor handling during drag operations with added tests.

These changes provides smoother user experience, better support for
touch devices, reduce load during interactions and ensure the
component's behavior is intuitive and accessible across different
devices and interactions.

- Fix horizontal slider not responding to touch events.
- Improve slider handle to be a `<button>` for improved accessibility
  and native browser support, improving user interaction and keyboard
  support.
- Add throttling in the slider for performance optimization, reducing
  processing load during actions.
- Fix losing dragging state cursor on hover over page elements such as
  input boxes and buttons during dragging.
- Separate dragging logic into its own compositional hook for clearer
  separation of concerns.
- Refactor global cursor mutation process.
- Increase robustness in global cursor changes by preserving and
  restoring previous cursor style to prevent potential side-effects.
- Use Vue 3.2 feature for defining cursor CSS style in `<style>`
  section.
- Expand unit test coverage for horizontal slider, use MouseEvent and
  type cast it to PointerEvent as MouseEvent is not yet supported by
  `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2527).

cb42f11b97 Fix code highlighting and optimize category select
This commit introduces a batched debounce mechanism for managing user
selection state changes. It effectively reduces unnecessary processing
during rapid script checking, preventing multiple triggers for code
compilation and UI rendering.

Key improvements include:

- Enhanced performance, especially noticeable when selecting large
  categories. This update resolves minor UI freezes experienced when
  selecting categories with numerous scripts.
- Correction of a bug where the code area only highlighted the last
  selected script when multiple scripts were chosen.

Other changes include:

- Timing functions:
  - Create a `Timing` folder for `throttle` and the new
    `batchedDebounce` functions.
  - Move these functions to the application layer from the presentation
    layer, reflecting their application-wide use.
  - Refactor existing code for improved clarity, naming consistency, and
    adherence to new naming conventions.
  - Add missing unit tests.
- `UserSelection`:
  - State modifications in `UserSelection` now utilize a singular object
    inspired by the CQRS pattern, enabling batch updates and flexible
    change configurations, thereby simplifying change management.
- Remove the `I` prefix from related interfaces to align with new coding
  standards.
- Refactor related code for better testability in isolation with
  dependency injection.
- Repository:
  - Move repository abstractions to the application layer.
  - Improve repository abstraction to combine `ReadonlyRepository` and
    `MutableRepository` interfaces.
- E2E testing:
  - Introduce E2E tests to validate the correct batch selection
    behavior.
  - Add a specialized data attribute in `TheCodeArea.vue` for improved
    testability.
  - Reorganize shared Cypress functions for a more idiomatic Cypress
    approach.
  - Improve test documentation with related information.
- `SelectedScript`:
  - Create an abstraction for simplified testability.
  - Introduce `SelectedScriptStub` in tests as a substitute for the
    actual object.
