syntaqxChat messages render the Markdown people and agents write: headings as bold lines, rules, nested and numbered lists, quotes that hold lists, single-tilde strikethrough, backslash escapes, and fenced code coloured by the site's highlighter with a copy button, while links still go only to the web, mail or this site and HTML stays text. The parser now lives in @g1t/contracts/chat-markdown so the chat service reads messages by the same rule, and notifications show a message's plain words with the marks gone, keeping snake_case, #channels and references as typed.bdeb58cHistory
