Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Logseq: create a new line and type `* [ ]`, then compare it with a checkbox on the second line of a block. Trace the checkbox rendering path and verify that a single-line checkbox renders in both positions, adding a regression test if the existing test structure supports it.
