💡 What:
Added .setAcceptRichText(False) to all four QTextEdit instances in the application (chat_panel.py, hub_dialog.py, settings_panel.py, and setup_dialog.py).

🎯 Why:
By default, QTextEdit accepts rich text (HTML) when pasting. If a user pastes text containing formatting into a field like "System prompt" or the application logs, it renders the HTML formatting instead of treating it as plain text. This can cause UI inconsistencies and redressing issues.

📸 Before/After:
Before: Pasting formatted text or HTML into _system_prompt rendered it as rich text, causing font mismatches and potential UI redressing.
After: Pasting formatted text or HTML into _system_prompt pastes it as raw, plain text, keeping the application's intended style.

♿ Accessibility:
Improves visual consistency and predictability for users relying on keyboard copy-pasting, preventing accidental rendering of confusing or unreadable formatting in configuration fields.

⚠️ SPEC.md Update Required

Source files were modified in this PR but SPEC.md was not updated.

Per the Specification-Driven Development Policy:

  • Any PR that adds, removes, or changes functionality must update SPEC.md
  • Update the relevant sections (features, architecture, tests, dependencies, etc.)
  • Bump the Spec Version if making substantive changes

To resolve:

  1. Update SPEC.md to reflect your changes, OR
  2. Add the spec-exempt label if this PR genuinely doesn't affect the spec (e.g., pure refactor with no behavior change)

This check is enforced by the spec-check CI workflow.

Adds `.setAcceptRichText(False)` to `QTextEdit` usages to prevent HTML formatting from being pasted, making it plain text only for better UX and consistency.
