Complete hybrid undo/redo implementation for code editor integration:

IMPLEMENTATION:
- Enhanced CodeChangeCommand to use Node.set_code() method
- Modified CodeEditorDialog to accept node_graph parameter
- Added _handle_accept() method to create commands on dialog acceptance
- Updated Node.open_unified_editor() to pass graph reference
- Hybrid approach: QTextEdit internal undo + atomic commands on accept

TESTING:
- Unit tests: 10/10 CodeChangeCommand tests passed
- GUI workflow tests: 9/9 user scenario tests passed
- Integration tests: Core logic validated (PySide6 mocking issues)
- Test coverage: Unit, integration, and GUI workflow scenarios

KEY FEATURES:
- Code editor maintains internal undo during editing sessions
- Changes committed as atomic operations to graph history on accept
- Canceling dialog preserves graph history integrity
- Memory efficient handling of large code blocks
- Windows platform compatible (no Unicode characters)

FILES:
- Enhanced: src/commands/node_commands.py, src/ui/dialogs/code_editor_dialog.py, src/core/node.py
- Created: tests/test_code_change_command.py, tests/test_code_editor_dialog_integration.py, tests/gui/test_code_editor_undo_workflow.py
- Updated: docs/development/fixes/undo-redo-implementation.md, docs/stories/2.2.story.md

Fixed inconsistent import paths causing restored connections to fail deletion.
The bug occurred when deleting a node, undoing the deletion, then attempting
to delete connections - some connections would fail to delete due to isinstance()
checks failing on restored Connection objects.

Changes:
- Fixed inconsistent Connection class imports in node_commands.py
- Enhanced connection restoration with proper validation and error handling
- Added comprehensive debugging and graceful failure handling
- Improved pin reference validation during connection restoration

…o bug detection

Creates test_password_generator_chaos.py with three comprehensive test methods:
- test_chaos_deletion_undo_redo_execution: Random deletion/undo/redo cycles with execution validation
- test_specific_deletion_patterns: Targeted deletion patterns (middle nodes, connections, output nodes)
- test_rapid_operations: High-frequency delete/undo operations

Key features:
- Loads password generator example file automatically
- Performs random node and connection deletions
- Tests all undo/redo combinations
- Validates graph execution integrity after chaos operations
- Monitors for corruption or state issues in workflow chains

The test specifically targets bugs where output display nodes fail to show results
after deletion/undo/redo cycles, providing systematic reproduction of complex
interaction scenarios that are difficult to test manually.

Test execution shows detailed command history debug output demonstrating proper
operation of the undo/redo system and graph integrity maintenance.
- Add DEBUG_GUI_UPDATES flag for controlling debug output
- Enhanced set_gui_values() with detailed debugging when enabled
- All debug output is disabled by default for clean operation
- Add DEBUG_EXECUTION flag for controlling execution debug output
- Enhanced execution flow with debug logging when enabled
- Debug output disabled by default for clean execution logs
- Enhance connection restoration with pin name fallback for robustness
- Store both pin indices and names during connection deletion
- Add DEBUG_NODE_COMMANDS flag for controlling connection debug output
- Improve pin lookup logic with fallback when indices don't match
- Fix execution flow connections being lost after delete-undo operations
- Test validates GUI widgets update correctly after delete-undo operations
- Covers the critical bug where output display nodes stopped updating
- Includes baseline testing and post-undo validation
- Tests both GUI state restoration and value update functionality
- Test reproduces user workflow with actual password generator nodes
- Validates execution reaches all nodes after delete-undo operations
- Identifies execution flow breaks vs GUI update issues
- Comprehensive test of connection restoration for execution flow
- Verify debug flags are disabled by default for clean operation
- Test that enabling debug flags produces expected output
- Validate debug system works correctly across all subsystems
- Ensure debug configuration is properly implemented
