- Enable `FieldDisplayMode.EDITOR` for plain `TEXT` field widgets while
keeping `FIELD` as the default display mode.
- Add a plain multiline text editor renderer for `TEXT + EDITOR` field
widgets with optimistic record-store/cache updates and debounced
persistence.
- Reuse the shared `TextArea` component through a transparent, uncapped
variant so the editor has no input chrome and lets the widget grow.
- Add unit coverage for text display-mode config and a Storybook
scenario for a text field widget in editor mode.
## useEffect cleanup note
`FieldWidgetTextEditor` flushes the debounced persist callback in a
`useEffect` cleanup:
```ts
useEffect(() => () => persistTextDebounced.flush(), [persistTextDebounced]);
```
This follows the existing debounced autosave cleanup pattern already
used in `WorkflowEditActionHttpRequest`. It ensures pending text changes
are persisted when the widget unmounts, while `onBlur` still flushes
immediately for normal editor exits.
## Validation
- `npx nx test twenty-front --testPathPattern=page-layout`
- `npx nx typecheck twenty-front`
- `npx nx lint twenty-front`
- Browser check on
`http://apple.localhost:3001/object/company/20202020-a305-41e7-8c72-ba44072a4c58`
for transparent textarea, no internal max-height/scroll, equal padding,
and widget growth.
Note: lint passes with two unrelated existing warnings in
`NavigationDrawerItem.tsx` and `ConfigVariableEdit.tsx`.
