Subject: [PATCH] Fix text cursor appearing on non-editable elements
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add universal cursor inherit rule for consistent cursor behavior
- Add user-select: none to prevent text selection on UI elements
- Expand element coverage to include modals, tooltips, and inline elements
- Preserve text cursor and selection for form inputs with !important
