Slash menu throws "Attempting to update uninitialized suggestions menu" after toggling editable

Start in @blocknote/core/src/extensions/SuggestionMenu/SuggestionMenu.ts, especially emitUpdate, SuggestionMenuView.update, and closeMenu, then reproduce the controlled editable toggle with CPU throttling. Trace the update sequence after switching to editable and typing /. Done means the slash menu opens without the uninitialized suggestions menu error.

Version:
@blocknote/core@0.49.0

Repro

1. Render a BlockNoteEditor whose editable prop is toggled from a parent (e.g. switching between view and edit mode).
2. DevTools → Performance → CPU: 6x slowdown (low-end devices reproduce naturally).
3. Toggle the editor from non-editable to editable.
4. Immediately type / to open the slash/suggestion menu.

Throws:

  Error: Attempting to update uninitialized suggestions menu

What did you expect to happen?

No errors

Steps to reproduce

• Render a BlockNoteEditor whose editable prop is controlled by parent React state (we toggle between view/edit modes).
  -Open DevTools → Performance → set CPU to 6× slowdown (this makes the bug deterministic; in production it occurs on real users without throttling, presumably on slower devices).
• Toggle the editor from non-editable → editable
• Immediately type / to open the suggestion menu.
• Observe the thrown error in the console

BlockNote version

@blocknote/core@0.49.0

Environment

Reported in production on Chrome 147 / Windows 10/11 (real user). Reproduced locally on Chrome (latest) / macOS with React 18 and CPU throttling at 6×.
