Primitive: Stale inline display content references detached layout boxes on partial-merge failure
Triage note: handlePartialDisplayContentUpdate returned early on failure leaving existing display boxes that still hold CheckedPtr to layout boxes queued for destruction (InlineDamage::m_detachedLayoutBoxes), a dangling-pointer/UAF. Fix clears displayContent() and unites damaged rects before returning.

Security-relevant, below the exploitable-grade bar for a full root-cause writeup. The triage verdict is above; the side-by-side patch is below.
