feat(web): block-level Markdown in the rich text composer - #14677
chrisdeeming wants to merge 18 commits into
Conversation
The rich text composer styled words but not blocks: fences, lists, quotes, rules and headings stayed literal text. Each is now a node that keeps its exact Markdown delimiters as attributes, so the stored draft stays byte-identical to what was typed. Fences get chat's code block frame, syntax highlighting (skipped above 20k characters), a language picker in the header, indentation handling and verbatim paste. Blocks form only at a top-level paragraph, and Tiptap's block chords are removed, because the serializer has no line for a block nested anywhere else.

…er does Enter on an opening fence used a language-only pattern, so a fence with a fuller info string (```ts title=x) sent the draft instead of opening a block the parser would read back anyway; it now uses the parser's own grammar. Block patterns matched with `.`, which refuses the `\r` that ends every line of a CRLF draft, so CRLF fences, headings, quotes and rules stayed paragraphs; they now keep the `\r` in the stored text. Pasting into a list item or quote turned off inline marks along with block syntax; it now keeps the marks.
Leaving a fence that had no closing line kept it unclosed, so the prose typed after it was stored inside the code. Leaving now writes the closing fence. Tab on a selection ending at the start of a line also indented that line; it now stops at the last line the selection touches.
# Conflicts: # apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx
Shift+Enter on an empty nested item lifts it a level, but Tiptap moves the node without touching its indent or marker. The stored draft kept the old nesting, so the agent got the item nested and the next rebuild nested it again. Bullet, ordered and task items now go through one split-or-lift that writes the item with its new siblings' indent and marker, in the same undo step. Also moves two doc comments back onto the code they describe. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Thanks for splitting this out. I pushed one fix ( After that I had three independent adversarial reviews run on that head. They found that the same problem can be reached in many other ways: what the editor shows and the stored draft (what the agent receives, and what the editor rebuilds from) drift apart. I reproduced the items marked ✅ with a real Tiptap editor. Each case lists the input, then what the editor shows, then the stored draft. Blockers

Regression tests that round-trip the editor through the stored draft, like the ones added to Reviewed with Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT 6.1 Sol in T3 Code. |
List items and quotes could hold blocks the Markdown can't write, and Tiptap's list keys moved items without updating their indent or marker, so the draft the agent receives drifted from what the editor showed. - List items hold only their line and nested lists; quotes only lines. - Backspace and Delete across lists lift or join with the indent correction Shift+Enter uses. StarterKit's list keymap is off. - Backspace at the start of a fence turns it back into lines, and Delete never pulls a fence's code into the line above. - List and task input rules only fire at top level. - Enter after a typed closing fence ends the block. Code holding a closing fence is written inside a longer one, and an unclosed fence with a block after it is written closed. - Enter on a fence line keeps a chip's source in the info string. - A paste ending in a rule leaves the caret after it, a chip in a fence counts as one cursor position as the store expects, and the highlighter scans only top-level blocks.
Tiptap's toggleList cannot retag one item of a bullet list, and on a nested item it moved the new task to the top level while the draft kept its indent, so the next rebuild nested it again. The item now becomes a task in place, with its bullet list split around it into sibling lists, the way the parser reads a change of list kind.
A rule cannot hold the caret, so a draft of only `---` reopened with nowhere to type, and Backspace could leave the editor in the same state. A final rule now always has an empty line after it, which the draft does not write. A trailing newline after a final rule reads back the same way and is dropped. Typing [ ] on a bullet also keeps the spacing after the dash.
ProseMirror's DOM observer flushes on a timer. An editor left alive after its test could flush once jsdom was torn down, which Vitest reported as an unhandled error and failed the web test job.

Problem
The rich text composer styles words but not blocks. Fenced code, lists, task items, quotes, rules and headings stay literal text while you write a prompt, so a pasted snippet or a structured request reads as raw Markdown.
Change
Each block is a Tiptap node that keeps its exact Markdown delimiters (fence and info string, list marker and spacing, quote prefix, rule characters, heading space) as attributes, so the stored draft stays byte-identical to what was typed. The line grammar for lists is the plain-mode continuation's own, so both modes agree on what a list line is.
#plus a space, so#1234still opens the pull request picker.Adds
@tiptap/extension-{code-block,list,blockquote,horizontal-rule,heading}as explicit dependencies; they were already installed through StarterKit.This replaces #12452, which bundled this with separate changes. Those are now #14674, #14675 and #14676.
Scope and approval
This is a feature. Julius reviewed it in #12452 and approved it for merge: "With that fixed, this looks good to merge from my side" (#12452 (review)). His audit asked for the unrelated fixes and the rich text shortcut to land separately; they now do. Fences and the other blocks stay together because they solve one problem: the composer cannot hold block-level Markdown.
Verification
vp test runon the touched test files (composer-rich-text-doc,composer-code-block,composer-code-languages,composer-list-split,composer-list-continuation,composer-block-shortcuts,composerCodeBlockHighlight): 328 passed. They cover byte-identical round trips for every block, cursor mapping inside delimiters, the chord removal inside a quote, the highlight size cap, and CRLF token offsets.vp run dev, copied local data), I pasted the same Markdown draft into main's composer and into this branch's. The composer's 208px height cap was lifted for both captures so the whole draft fits.The fence's language picker:
