Agent replies with ordinary ranges such as 1~3月 ... 4~9月 lose both tildes and strike the text between them. This keeps single tildes literal in assistant replies while retaining ~~strikethrough~~, and makes thread find and the timeline minimap match the rendered reply.
Fixes #29254
This changes the interpretation of intentional ~single-tilde~ formatting in assistant replies. User messages, Markdown file previews, PR content, and native mobile keep their existing behavior. The related maintainer discussion asked for a product decision; I have not found explicit approval for this scope.
Verification:
vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck, 41 tests, and React compiler checks passed.~~删除~~ still rendered as strikethrough. The browser lacked Chinese fonts, so the captures below use the equivalent English range. The before capture uses the upstream assistant renderer in the same client; the after capture uses this PR's renderer. Before, 3 months is incomplete; compare 4 was struck and both tildes were hidden; after, the ranges remained literal and only obsolete was struck.Windows desktop and native mobile were not tested. Desktop uses the web renderer; mobile uses a separate parser and is unchanged.

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#29254
Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Assistant replies, search, and minimap previews will preserve single tildes instead of interpreting them as strikethrough. A human must confirm this default formatting change, including the loss of intentional single-tilde strikethrough in assistant replies.

Assistant reply rendering and search preserve single tildes while retaining double-tilde strikethrough. Timeline previews also preserve single tildes and remove strikethrough delimiters from displayed text.
Changes: Assistant Markdown Parsing
| Layer / File(s) | Summary |
|---|---|
Shared reply parsing and search packages/shared/src/markdownPipeline.ts, packages/shared/src/threadFindText.ts, packages/shared/src/threadFindText.test.ts | Assistant search uses reply-specific Markdown processors. Their plugin lists disable single-tilde GFM parsing. Tests cover literal tildes and double-tilde formatting. |
Assistant reply rendering apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/TimelineAssistantRows.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.browser.test.tsx | ChatMarkdown selects assistant-specific plugin sets when the assistantReply prop is true. The assistant timeline row passes that prop. Tests cover single-tilde text and strikethrough rendering. |
Timeline preview parsing apps/web/src/components/chat/timelineMinimapItems.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/timelineMinimapItems.test.ts | The preview parser disables single-tilde GFM parsing. A test checks date-range tildes and removal of strikethrough delimiters. |

Explanation
The description explains the problem, the change, its scope, and focused verification results, and includes before-and-after screenshots. It also discloses that explicit scope approval was not found, but does not explain why the fix qualifies for the small, focused bug exemption.
Explanation
[#29254] ChatMarkdown uses assistant-specific remark plugins with singleTilde: false for assistant timeline rows. The regression test checks literal single tildes, double-tilde strikethrough, and streaming. Search and minimap parsing use compatible behavior, with tests for the reported Chinese ranges. The existing chat renderer remains the default for other content.
Explanation
The renderer, thread-find, and minimap changes support consistent display and discovery of assistant replies required by [#29254]. The tests cover these paths. The diff shows no unrelated changes. The author's note about absent maintainer approval describes a product decision, not an unmet coding requirement.

the verification section below was written by gpt-6.1-sol.
verified head bd1949594a70c4b472ff1b4a301f19a8e17cf850 as-is on a linux boat vm with the real dev web client, repository playwright, and /usr/bin/google-chrome at 1440×1000. created the project and threads through the ui against a real git checkout and sent real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. no replay provider, mocks, fixtures, or injected messages.
github/main (a03648901640216a154d387cfb2cdec268e6527e) in a separate worktree after vp i: the chinese sentence and equivalent english ranges lost both tildes and incorrectly struck the intervening text. searching for 1~3 returned 0/0.vp i, and started its dev server against separate empty state. the same prompt produced literal 1~3 and 4~9 in assistant replies. intentional ~single-tilde control~ also stayed literal, as described by the pr.~~obsolete~~ still rendered as a del element and **bold control** stayed bold. user messages retained their previous single-tilde formatting. inline path chips still rendered.1/2 for 1~3, highlighted both assistant ranges, and next-match navigation worked. searching for formatted obsolete also returned 1/2.del elements contained only obsolete.before, main with the real codex reply:
main incorrectly strikes the range text
after, exact pr head with the same prompt and reply:
pr preserves assistant ranges and double-tilde strikethrough
thread find and minimap interaction, 8 seconds; animated capture below; inspected the exported recording and checked the uploaded mp4 playback and seeking in chrome:
thread find matches literal ranges and minimap previews preserve them
focused existing checks passed through blacksmith-check: 13 search/minimap tests and 15 markdown browser tests, 28 total. the worker initially lacked its playwright browser; installed it there and the browser suite passed. existing github ci is green, with some jobs skipped. no source changes or pushes were needed.
windows/macOS electron clients, native ios/android clients, and the original reporter's claude provider were not exercised on this linux vm. verification used codex as requested. markdown file previews, pr-content rendering, other provider adapters, remote/relay connections, and tunnel connections were not exercised. this verifies the implementation; the product-scope approval raised in the discussion remains a maintainer decision.
merged github/main (17a6a01d84) into the branch with a merge commit, no rebase. the only conflict was in ChatMarkdown.browser.test.tsx, where main added a nested ordered-list test next to this pr's tilde test; kept both. no source changes beyond the merge. vp run check:changed passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, typecheck (35 packages), 6 test files (52 tests), react compiler.
skipped the coderabbit nitpick to extend the tilde test across streamed ~~ splits: it grows the test beyond this fix, and the streaming split path is shared with all markdown and unchanged here.
