Invalid preferredEditor Spam Loop Prevention

What Changed

Editor settings dialog now detects unsupported editor configurations and emits error feedback exactly once via useEffect dependency array, preventing repeated error messages when an invalid preferred editor is configured.

Operator Implication

Reduces UI spam and improves user experience for misconfigured editor settings. Prevents notification fatigue from repeated error feedback.
