Should also resolve same issue for multi-edit tool, since they use the same path. Should not affect edit_existing_file in any way.
No the cleanest solution, but it works.

Documentation Review

No documentation updates needed.

This PR is an internal bug fix for the JetBrains extension's diff highlighting behavior during instant apply and multi-edit operations. The changes are confined to internal Kotlin implementation code (DiffStreamHandler.kt and VerticalDiffBlock.kt) and correct a visual rendering issue where added lines weren't being properly highlighted.

Since this fix:

• Doesn't change any user-facing features or workflows
• Doesn't modify configuration options or APIs
• Simply corrects existing behavior to work as expected

The Continue Docs remain accurate as-is.

Documentation Review: No docs updates needed.

This PR fixes an internal visual rendering bug in the JetBrains extension where added lines weren't being properly highlighted during instant-apply diff streaming. The changes are:

• Internal Kotlin implementation details (adding a helper method for line highlighting)
• No user-facing API, configuration, or workflow changes
• No new features that users need to learn about

The existing documentation accurately describes the diff/instant-apply functionality—this fix simply makes the visual feedback work correctly as already documented.
