amitwh c574d77c20 fix(renderer): remove let ModalManager to prevent SyntaxError on load
ModalManager.js is loaded via <script> tag in index.html, which
declares class ModalManager in the global script scope. renderer.js
was then doing 'let ModalManager;' which caused:
  SyntaxError: Identifier 'ModalManager' has already been declared

This prevented renderer.js from executing at all, breaking tabs,
editor, file open, and preview rendering.

Fix: conditionally require ModalManager only if undefined, without
re-declaring. In sloppy mode this safely assigns to the existing global.
