feat: enhance project editor with new error boundary and file handling improvements

- Introduced `EditorErrorBoundary` component to catch runtime errors in CodeMirror, providing a fallback UI to prevent crashes.
- Updated file handling logic to utilize `isbinaryfile` for more reliable binary detection, replacing manual null-byte scans.
- Enhanced `openFile` method to prevent duplicate tabs for already opened files.
- Improved documentation for new components and updated file lists to reflect recent changes.
- Optimized file watcher and path validation processes for better performance and reliability.
