Public reproduction URL

No response

Steps to reproduce

Paste or import this Markdown:

| Dimension | Basis |
| --- | --- |
| Volume trend | a<b |

Expected behavior

The table should render normally, and the cell should contain a<b as plain text.

Actual behavior

The editor crashes with error: row.children is not iterable

Acceptance criteria

Markdown tables should not crash when a cell contains plain text like a<b.
Fallback Markdown parsing should keep the table node structure valid.
table.children should only contain table row nodes.
