Felipe Coury 14d80e55cd fix(tui): improve multiline markdown list readability (#24351)
## Why

Numbered Markdown findings become hard to scan when long items visually
run together or when wrapped explanatory paragraphs lose their list
indentation. This is especially visible in review output: the next
number can look attached to the previous finding, and paragraph
continuation rows can jump back toward the left margin instead of
staying grouped beneath their item.

## What Changed

- Insert a blank separator before a sibling list item when the previous
item occupies more than one rendered line.
- Preserve compact rendering for lists whose sibling items each render
on one line.
- Preserve list-body leading whitespace when transient streamed
assistant rows require another wrapping pass for history display, so
wrapped paragraphs stay aligned beneath their item.
- Share the existing leading-whitespace prefix logic used by history
insertion instead of introducing a second indentation rule.
- Keep streamed Markdown output aligned with completed rendering and add
snapshots for findings-style spacing and streamed paragraph indentation.

## How to Test

1. Start Codex from this branch and open the recorded repro session
`019e563f-7d58-7ff2-8ec7-828f20fa61ca`.
2. Inspect the numbered `Findings` list whose items contain explanatory
paragraphs.
3. Confirm each multiline finding is separated from the next numbered
finding by one blank line.
4. Confirm wrapped rows of each indented paragraph remain aligned
beneath the finding body, rather than returning to the left edge.
5. Render a short one-line numbered or unordered list and confirm its
items remain compact without added blank rows.

Targeted tests:

- `just test -p codex-tui history_cell insert_history markdown_render
markdown_stream streaming::controller`
- `just argument-comment-lint-from-source -p codex-tui`

## Related Work

PR #24346 changes Markdown table column allocation in parallel. This PR
is intentionally limited to list-item readability and history wrapping;
both branches touch `codex-rs/tui/src/markdown_render.rs`, so a small
merge conflict may need resolution depending on merge order.
