Subject: [PATCH] fix: use getExpandedText() to preserve large paste content in
 notes (#169)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

interview-ui.ts saveEditorToState() was calling getText() which returns
paste markers like '[paste #1 2033 chars]' for content >1000 chars or
>10 lines. The actual pasted content was stored in the Editor's paste
map but never expanded back.

This silently discards user input in ask_user_questions notes — any
substantive response (voice transcripts, detailed explanations, extended
enrichments) that exceeds the paste threshold gets replaced with a
marker string. The LLM receives '[paste #1 N chars]' instead of the
user's actual words.

Fix: getText() → getExpandedText() — the Editor already has the method
that expands paste markers to their stored content. One-line change.
