Replace the swapConfigForTesting seam with a shared production config-install path.

swapConfigForTesting is a #if DEBUG member. It is named …ForTesting, and no production code calls it. The repository rule for production Sources/ files rejects this pattern.

The method also creates a second path that writes config. That path skips the rules that performConfigurationReload enforces at Lines 2135-2148:

  • The reload path calls ghostty_app_update_config_without_surface_propagation inside suppressGhosttyReloadActions. The seam does not. Native reload or config-change actions that the update emits then reach handleAction without suppression.
  • The reload path updates appliedConfigurationContentIdentity together with config. The seam does not. While a test config is installed, the stored identity describes a different config than the one the app holds.

Fix: Move the commit step into one internal production method. Call it from performConfigurationReload, and call it from tests through @testable import. The app then has one code path that owns config replacement. The first step is to call this method from the reload path; if the dead-key tests still pass, the seam can be deleted.

♻️ Proposed refactor 
-#if DEBUG

-    /// which the caller then owns. Tests change a setting on a clone through
-    /// this instead of re-loading into the live config, which is finalized.
-    func swapConfigForTesting(_ newConfig: ghostty_config_t) -> ghostty_config_t? {
-        if let app {
-            ghostty_app_update_config_without_surface_propagation(app, newConfig)
-        }
-        let previous = config
-        config = newConfig
-        return previous
-    }
-#endif
+    /// Commits a finalized config as the app config. Returns the previous
+    /// config; the caller then owns it and must free it.
+    `@MainActor`
+    func commitConfiguration(_ newConfig: ghostty_config_t) -> ghostty_config_t? {
+        if let app {
+            suppressGhosttyReloadActions {
+                ghostty_app_update_config_without_surface_propagation(app, newConfig)
+            }
+        }
+        let previous = config
+        config = newConfig
+        appliedConfigurationContentIdentity = GhosttyConfigurationContentIdentity(newConfig)
+        return previous
+    }

Change the configurationChanged branch in performConfigurationReload to use the same method:

if configurationChanged {
    if let oldConfig = commitConfiguration(newConfig) {
        ghostty_config_free(oldConfig)
    }
}

In cmuxTests/CJKIMEInputTests+DeadKeyComposition.swift, replace both swapConfigForTesting calls with commitConfiguration.

As per coding guidelines and path instructions, "fail when the diff violates .github/review-bot-rules/no-test-debug-seam-in-production-source.md: a #if DEBUG (or other test-build-guarded) extension/member that exposes internal state only for tests … a member named like debug…/…ForTesting". The Swift architectural rule also flags "A new mutable flag, cache, singleton, observer, or side channel that creates another owner for state already owned by a model".

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Assert that the walk visits projectView.

SidebarAccessibilityTreeWalk follows only the children returned by NSView.accessibilityChildren(). The cycle and depth assertions can pass even when projectView is not returned or visited.
