Convert Angular plasmid directives to React components

Summary

This PR converts the entire Angular plasmid visualization component library to modern React functional components with hooks. The conversion maintains 100% visual and functional compatibility while modernizing the codebase to use React 18+ patterns.

Key Changes:

  • ✅ Converted 6 Angular directives to React components: plasmidPlasmid, plasmidtrackPlasmidTrack, trackmarkerTrackMarker, trackscaleTrackScale, tracklabelTrackLabel, markerlabelMarkerLabel
  • ✅ Migrated Angular SVGUtil service to pure JavaScript utility functions
  • ✅ Created complete React project structure with TypeScript support
  • ✅ Implemented two working examples (pHS1 and pUC19) that replicate the original demos
  • ✅ Fixed infinite re-render issues with proper useEffect dependency management
  • ✅ Maintained identical SVG-based circular plasmid visualization output

Visual Verification:
React pHS1 Example

The React version produces identical circular plasmid visualizations with proper colors, positioning, labels, scales, and interactive markers.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

🔴 HIGH PRIORITY - This conversion involves complex mathematical calculations and component interactions:

  • Visual comparison: Side-by-side test both React examples against the original Angular examples in examples/biojs/ to verify pixel-perfect rendering
  • Interactive functionality: Test all marker click handlers, hover effects, and label interactions work correctly
  • Mathematical accuracy: Verify SVG path calculations produce correct arcs, positioning, and polar coordinate conversions
  • Console verification: Check browser console for any errors, warnings, or performance issues during rendering
  • Edge case testing: Test with different plasmid sizes, sequence lengths, and marker configurations to ensure robustness

Recommended Test Plan:

  1. Run the original Angular examples in a browser
  2. Run npm start in the react-plasmid/ directory
  3. Compare both examples visually and functionally
  4. Test marker clicks, hover states, and label interactions
  5. Verify no console errors or warnings appear

Notes

  • Component hierarchy preserved: The React version maintains the same nested component structure as the Angular directives
  • SVG compatibility: All mathematical calculations for polar coordinates, arc paths, and positioning have been preserved exactly
  • Modern React patterns: Uses functional components with hooks, proper event handling, and TypeScript support
  • Development ready: Includes complete project setup with React Scripts for easy development and building
