Closes #565. Advances #243 and #235.
Assigning empty
textContentto an already-empty ordinary Element or DocumentFragment now returns after author conversion and CharacterData handling, matching the DOM replace-all zero-node result. Style elements are excluded. This avoids redundant unchanged Code OSS row/panel visual work while preserving every real removal/replacement, conversion, focus/selection, adoption, mutation and custom-element lifecycle path.Validation intentionally deferred:
git diff --checkpassed; 8,192 redundant clears plus populated real-clear/detach/restore/focus/selection/lifecycle/low-memory regressions were authored but not executed. Code OSS A/B, browser/package, future MutationObserver, pixel, physical performance and memory gates remain in #243.
