perf: avoid expensive doc stringification for autocomplete

Refactored the autocomplete variable matching logic in `src/ui/editor.ts` to iterate through document lines using CodeMirror's `iterLines()` instead of allocating the entire document string in memory with `toString()`. Also pulled the regex up and introduced a quick `.includes("=")` bailout to skip the regex engine completely for most lines.
