Subject: [PATCH] fix(tui): normalized Thai/Lao AM output for terminal
 rendering

- Added normalizeTerminalOutput to convert precomposed Thai and Lao AM vowels into compatibility decompositions for terminal rendering.
- Converted ASCII classification tables to Uint8Array and updated whitespace and punctuation checks to use bounded code-point lookups.
