Greptile SummaryThe PR replaces EditDistance's dense Levenshtein matrix with a divide-and-conquer alignment implementation and raises the renderer's bounded computation threshold.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR appears safe to merge, with a non-blocking encapsulation issue in the mutable cached path returned by calculatePath(). The new alignment implementation has broad correctness and large-input coverage, but callers can now mutate retained path state and make it inconsistent with the cached distance.

calculatePath() now returns the constructor-cached mutable list, whose EditOperation elements also expose incLength(). Modifying that result corrupts subsequent paths while getDistance() retains its original value, producing inconsistent diagnostics or invalid operation lengths during rendering.

Alright, I changed it so calculatePath() returns now a new list

Closes #2408
Replace the dense Levenshtein matrix in EditDistance with a Myers-Miller/Hirschberg-style divide-and-conquer algorithm.
This also resolves the long-standing EditDistance implementation TODO to use an algorithm with lower time and/or space complexity.
The new implementation:
The computation limit is increased from 50 Ki cells to 1 Mi cells. It now primarily limits CPU work rather than protecting against allocation of a dense matrix. Completely different strings above the limit still use the existing fallback message.
Rendering changes
Multiple optimal Levenshtein alignments can exist. The divide-and-conquer algorithm may select a different optimal path from the previous matrix backtracking implementation.
Expected failure messages affected by this tie-breaking have been updated. The distance and reconstructed strings remain unchanged.
