Under the hood

Word-boundary navigation logic was simplified, dropping a word-vs-punctuation distinction.

The readline word-boundary cache used for cursor and word navigation (getWordBoundaries) no longer tracks whether a segment is word-like versus punctuation, only its start/end offsets. This simplifies the previous Intl.Segmenter-based boundary logic.
