Subject: [PATCH] fix(ui): disable single-dollar LaTeX math to preserve
 currency symbols

Single $ delimiters in agent responses (e.g. $93K, $307K) were being
interpreted as inline LaTeX math by marked-katex-extension, garbling
dollar amounts. Override the inlineKatex tokenizer to never match and
remove the regex-based single-dollar rendering in renderMathInText.
Display math ($$...$$) is preserved.
