💡 What: Wrapped the string derivation for shown in CodeBlock.tsx in a useMemo block, and replaced the nested .map().join() chain with manual for loops and direct string concatenation.

🎯 Why: During rendering, especially with large chunks of code, .map().join() creates a significant amount of intermediate string and array allocations, adding stress on the garbage collector and CPU. Using a manual for loop inside a useMemo block completely avoids these intermediate allocations on every render.

📊 Impact: Substantially reduces memory pressure and CPU overhead when rendering large codeblocks, especially on hot re-render paths. Expected memory allocation reduction matches O(N) intermediate strings where N is the number of tokens.

🔬 Measurement: Test test:web to ensure no functionality is broken, and benchmark React profiler during large CodeBlock rendering to see the eliminated render lag.

- Wrapped the 'shown' derivation in CodeBlock.tsx with useMemo to avoid re-evaluating it unnecessarily on every render.
- Replaced the nested `.map().join()` implementation with manual `for` loops and string concatenation to avoid allocating intermediate arrays and strings. This reduces CPU and GC overhead on this hot path.

Closing as duplicate micro-opt on CodeBlock (nested map/join → for-loop + useMemo). Same family as #309, #306, #303, #296, #295, #287 — no measurable gain worth the churn.
