Description
If we tokenize two separate words as a single token, the user should be able to split them, and that should be remembered when the book is retokenized in the future.
Dependency update: "remembered when the book is retokenized" is the crux. Token refs are derived from character offsets, so a split/join shifts every subsequent token's ref in the segment and orphans their analysis links. This issue is blocked on the re-anchoring strategy decision (#136); the likely shape here is a persisted per-project list of token operations (split/join at snapshot positions) replayed after tokenization.

Research direction
Start by reading the re-anchoring strategy decision in issue #136, then trace how token references derived from character offsets are handled with analysis links. The work is done when split and join operations can be persisted and replayed after retokenization without orphaning subsequent analysis links.
