Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening a snippet created with tabs in an external editor, then pressing Tab in the snippet editor. Trace the snippet editor's indentation handling and compare its behavior with the snippet's existing indentation; done means Tab respects the snippet's tab-versus-space style and Python remains valid.
