Several PRs are now in devel

[Edward K. Ream]

PR #4535 enhances leoMarkup.py in various ways. Thanks to wangzhaohe for this PR.

PR #4571 streamlines how Leo handles changed external files. By default, Leo simply prints a message to the log instead of raising a dialog. A new setting is available if you want the old behavior.

PR #4573 removes several ivars unnecessarily injected in Qt widgets.

This cleanup is a prelude to more ambitious work to come.

PR #4575 changes how Leo's add-comments command works.

The old way wasn't compatible with ruff-format.

PR #4577 fixes a strange quirp in Leo's session manager.

This strange quirp caused `leo --gui=console` to fail.

Please keep testing the devel and 6.8.8 branches. Thanks.

I have tested the 'devel' branch in a Debian 13 as well as a Fedora 43 distrobox & could not find any immediate issues.

With kind regards,

Viktor
