The IL (Stepper) and C# (TransformContext) paths each recorded the changed
node, its seam neighbours, and its ancestor chain with duplicated logic that
could drift. Move the ordering/dedup/seam strategy onto
Stepper.Node.RecordModifiedNode; each language keeps only its own node
navigation.

Keep existing modified-node candidates when a transform cannot provide a produced node, matching the IL transform helper and preserving highlight fallback quality.

When the step limit falls on a C# transform step, Stepper.Step records the node
as LimitReachedStep but throws before TransformContext can attach the node's
highlight candidates, so the 'show state before' view had only the bare modified
node to resolve against -- and nothing if that node renders no text of its own.
The IL path already records its candidates before the throw; mirror that on the
C# side by attaching the candidates to the limit-reached node in the catch, then
re-throwing so the pipeline still halts.

NodeLookup.AddNode indexed every annotation of every rendered node by reference
identity, but the debug-step highlighter only ever looks up the DebugStepMarker;
the rest were dead keys, and a shared annotation (ResolveResult and friends,
copied across nodes) would resolve to whichever node rendered last. Make
DebugStepMarker public and bridge only it -- behaviour-preserving for resolution
while dropping the per-annotation dictionary churn on every rendered node.

A step that removes a node has nothing left to highlight in the resulting text,
so range resolution fell back to the enclosing block and flooded it. Record the
changed node's surviving neighbours as seam anchors (captured before the
mutation) and split a step's candidates into precise / seam / ancestor tiers:
when neither the node nor its marker resolves, place a zero-length caret at the
gap -- the successor's start, else the predecessor's end -- and only fall back
to the enclosing block when no neighbour survives. A zero-length highlight is
rendered as a caret (positioned, pulsed, centered) with no background mark.

Record AST transform groups and mutation steps through the C# pipeline, replay selected steps with the stepper, and carry modified-node ranges through output so the Debug Steps pane can highlight the selected mutation without replacing its full step tree.

Turn on #nullable enable across the AST transform pipeline, ahead of
annotating the slot properties themselves. TransformContext now exposes the
nullable CurrentMember/CurrentTypeDefinition/CurrentModule contract already
declared by ITypeResolveContext, and the generated pattern-to-node conversion
returns a non-null node so patterns can be used in collection initializers
without warnings. No IL changes.

While support for multi-module assemblies isn't fully working yet; it is clear at this point that we want
to treat each module in a multi-module assembly separately for the purposes of the type system.
