1. Source editor blank: Added ensureEditor() method with try-catch that lazily creates the CodeMirror editor when setEditorContent is called if the initial DOMContentLoaded creation failed or was skipped. Replaced inline createEditor calls in createTabElements and DOMContentLoaded with ensureEditor(). 2. Export via pandoc failing: runPandocCmd parsed the full path /bin/linux/pandoc as the command, then prepended it to args because parsed.command !== 'pandoc'. This caused pandoc to receive its own binary path as the first input file. Fix: use path.basename() to check if the command ends with 'pandoc' (or 'pandoc.exe'). Amit Haridas
