feat: restructure procedural editor with collapsible sections and fixed-height layout

Convert scrolling document layout to fixed-height editor with accordion-mode
collapsible sections for Details and Intake Form. Step list now gets all
remaining height with independent scrolling. Add CollapsibleEditorSection
component with ARIA attributes (aria-expanded, aria-controls).
