Description

I cannot find any method to clear history (to prevent Ctrl+Z in some cases)
It seems that CodeMirror 6 suggests doing editor.setState(...) with a new state, but in this library states are created internally and there's no easy way to do it.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the React component creates and owns the CodeMirror 6 editor state, then compare that flow with the issue's suggested editor.setState(...) approach. Define an externally usable way to clear the undo history without requiring callers to construct the internally managed state, and verify that Ctrl+Z no longer restores cleared edits.
