## Description
### Description
This PR fixes an issue where the editor would reset content and move the
cursor while typing. The issue was caused by a dual debounce setup
(400ms + 2500ms) that saved content and then overwrote local state with
stale API responses while the user was still typing.
### What changed
* Editor now uses local state (`localTitle`, `localContent`) as the
source of truth while editing
* Vuex store is only used on initial load or navigation
* Replaced dual debounce with a single 500ms debounce (fewer API calls)
* `UPDATE_ARTICLE` now merges updates instead of replacing the article
* Prevents status changes from wiping unsaved content
* Removed `updateAsync` for a simpler update flow
### How it works
User types
→ local ref updates immediately (editor reads from this)
→ 500ms debounce triggers
→ dispatches `articles/update`
→ API persists the change
→ on success: store merges the response (used by other components)
→ editor remains unaffected (continues using local state)

## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
## How Has This Been Tested?
1. Open any Help Center article for editing
2. Type continuously for a few seconds — content should not reset or
jump
3. Change article status (publish/archive/draft) while editing — content
should remain intact
4. Test on a slow network (use DevTools throttling) — typing should
remain smooth
