feat(editor): spell & grammar checking (Chunk #7)

Offline spellcheck via hunspell compiled to WASM (runs fully in-browser),
plus optional self-hostable LanguageTool grammar/style checking.

- hunspell-wasm spell engine with bundled en_US dictionary (base64-decoded
  browser-safe via atob + TextDecoder)
- LanguageTool engine (self-hostable, docker compose snippet under
  docker/languagetool/)
- single decoration pipeline: spell + grammar hits merge into one squiggle
  layer (red=spelling, blue=grammar) with a side panel to jump/apply/ignore
  and add-to-dictionary
- useCheckService hook wired into WritingView; check.css loaded in main.tsx
- spell + grammar unit tests (30 editor tests green)

 ## Definition of done
 Authors get inline spellcheck (fully offline) and optional grammar checking, with a clean panel to review and act — no wall of unactionable errors.
 
+## Completed (implementation notes)
+- **Spell engine** (`packages/editor/src/spell/`): `hunspell-engine.ts` wraps `hunspell-wasm` with a lazy `load()` + `check()`/`suggest()` API; `spell.ts` provides `findSpellErrors()` (tokenizes with `WORD_RE`, dedupes, honors `minWordLength`) and `applySuggestion()`. Dictionaries are base64-decoded with `atob()` + `TextDecoder` (browser-safe, per project convention #74).
+- **Grammar engine** (`packages/editor/src/grammar/`): `grammar.ts` has a regex tokenizer (`SENTENCE_RE`, `WORD_RE`) plus `parseGrammarMatches()` that maps LanguageTool `/v2/check` `matches[]` → `GrammarIssue[]` (offset/length normalization, `ruleId`/`category`/`message`/`replacements`).
+- **CheckService** (`packages/editor/src/check/check-service.ts`): orchestrates both engines, exposes `checkText()`/`checkBlock()`/`addWordToDictionary()`/`ignoreWord()`/`ignoreAll()`, and emits `check:progress` events.
+- **Decorations** (`packages/editor/src/decorations/`): `toCheckedIssues()` merges spell + grammar hits into `CheckedIssue[]`; `collectBlock()` assembles block text (single source of truth, per #73); `useDecorations()` renders red squiggles (`ps-spell`) and blue squiggles (`ps-grammar`) and applies accepted suggestions.
+- **Web integration** (`apps/web/src/`): `useCheckService.ts` hook wires the service into `WritingView.tsx`; `CheckPanel.tsx` shows counts, per-issue message/replacements, "Add to dictionary", "Ignore"/"Ignore all", and jump-to-issue navigation; `check.css` styles squiggles + panel; `main.tsx` imports `check.css`.
+- **Settings**: spellcheck toggle + grammar toggle in `Settings.tsx` (persisted via `useSettings`).
+- **Docker**: `docker/languagetool/docker-compose.yml` + `README.md` for self-hosting LanguageTool (opt-in, graceful degradation if unreachable).
+- **Tests**: `spell.test.ts` (9 tests) and `grammar.test.ts` (12 tests) — all 30 editor tests green.
+
 ## Risks & fallbacks
 - **hunspell-WASM bundle size** → lazy-load dictionaries; only load the active language(s).
 - **LanguageTool self-host complexity** → make it opt-in and clearly documented; app degrades gracefully (grammar disabled) if the server is unreachable.
