In `@packages/react/src/ReactNodeViewRenderer.tsx`:
- Line 370: Update the selection state flow in ReactNodeViewRenderer so
transitions from NodeSelection to an internal text selection keep selected
stable, rather than relying on the queued selectionInside update. Adjust the
relevant select/deselect handling around selectedOnTextSelection and add a
regression test covering the same-node NodeSelection-to-text-selection
transition without an extra render.

If this property is deprecated, why is it a new property?

It's not new, the option was there previously.

| selectionInside?: boolean |

If this property is always provided, why is it optional?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Because it was not there previously, users may not have this provided on their versions of Tiptap - making this required would cause this to be a breaking change.

Changes and Review
This PR refactors selection handling on React NodeViews by using Prosemirrors selected state instead of inferring it ourselves. Also introduces a new
selectionInsideprop which users can use to check if the selection is fully inside this nodeview.The goal of the PR to heavily improve the performance in larger React based editors when selection changes.
