Eric Hare 30c9aaef30 feat: mark Text Input and Text Output components as legacy (#13420)
* feat: mark Text Input and Text Output components as legacy

Chat Input already handles text input natively, and the current API
paradigm forwards all terminal node outputs automatically, making the
Text Input and Text Output components redundant.

Mark both as legacy and point users to their modern replacements:
- TextInput  -> ChatInput  (replacement = ["input_output.ChatInput"])
- TextOutput -> ChatOutput (replacement = ["input_output.ChatOutput"])

Migrate starter templates off the Text Input component:
- Knowledge Retrieval: convert the search-query Text Input to Chat Input
- Blog Writer, Instagram Copywriter, Portfolio Website Code Generator,
  Twitter Thread Generator: inline preset Text Input values directly into
  their target Prompt/LLM fields and remove the now-redundant input nodes

Also drop stale root-level width/height from non-note nodes in Basic
Prompting, fixing a pre-existing test_width_height_at_node_level failure.

Update .secrets.baseline line numbers for the edited starter templates
(component code_hash false positives shifted by the node changes).

* test: enable legacy toggle in Playwright specs that drag Text Input/Output

Text Input and Text Output are now legacy, so they are hidden from the
component sidebar by default (showLegacy=false). Specs that drag them from
the sidebar must first enable the legacy toggle via the existing
addLegacyComponents() helper (as freeze.spec.ts already does).

Add the helper call to the 8 specs that added Text Input/Output without it,
fixing the Playwright shard failures on this PR.

* test: fix Blog Writer starter spec for inlined instructions field

Blog Writer no longer has a separate "Instructions" Text Input node; the
value is now an inlined field on the Prompt component (Text Input is legacy).
Fill the Prompt's instructions field (textarea_str_instructions) instead of
the removed node's textarea_str_input_value.

* test: force clicks past legacy banner overlap in similarity & fileUpload specs

Marking Text Input/Output legacy adds a "Legacy" warning bar that increases
node height. In these two tightly-packed layouts the bar/body now overlaps an
adjacent node's handle/button and intercepts the click. Force the affected
clicks past the overlay (consistent with existing force-click usage in
fileUploadComponent).

Fixes the Shard 34 (similarity) and Shard 43 (fileUpload "use text input for
file paths") failures introduced by the legacy marking.

* test: dismiss legacy warning bars instead of force-clicking through them

The previous force-click fix was wrong: Playwright's force click still
dispatches the event at the target's coordinates, which the browser routes to
the topmost element there (the overlapping "Legacy" warning bar), so the real
click never reached the covered handle/button (similarity's inspection modal
never opened).

Add a dismissLegacyWarnings() helper and call it before the affected
interactions in similarity and fileUpload. Dismissing the bars removes the
extra node height, restoring the compact pre-legacy layout so the normal
click lands on its intended target.
