Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

When the LLM uses the question tool, markdown formatting in the question text (like bold, code, lists) is displayed as raw text instead of being rendered.

Affected areas:

  • Desktop app (question dock)
  • TUI (question prompt and history)

Expected: Markdown in question text should be rendered (bold, code blocks, lists, etc.)
Actual: Raw markdown syntax is shown to the user (e.g., bold instead of bold)

Example:

Question: Which **database** should I use?
- `PostgreSQL`
- `MySQL`

Shows literally with asterisks and backticks instead of formatted.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #3845: Markdown tables display as plain text instead of formatted tables
  • #4946: Syntax and highlights error (code blocks showing backticks)
  • #8222: JSON code blocks strip quotation marks in TUI markdown renderer

All of these are related to markdown/formatting not being properly rendered in the TUI. Feel free to ignore if your specific case is different.
