Description

The code to sync text between multiple panes has been implemented. Now it would be interesting to allow the user to select which panes should sync. This would require making the selection visible to the user by changing the border color for the selected panes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing pane synchronization code in src/panes/ and understand how pane selection is tracked. Look at the UI rendering code to see how borders are drawn, then implement a toggle mechanism for sync participation per pane.
