Switch the Markdown engine from mistune to wenmode - #329
Conversation
Not byte-identical: 6.6% of real transcript bodies differ off the shelf, 1.1% after a ~100-line layer reproducing mistune's HTML formatting, and the residue is parser semantics (single-tilde strikethrough, a wenmode Table-rule bug, mistune quirks we would have to reproduce). Parser is 1.55x faster on our corpus but ~2 s of a 30 s serial render; the SHA-link resolver's git subprocesses are ~11 s of the same run. Records method, numbers, and the emulation layer.

549 unique SHA candidates, not 1098: the first instrument rendered the corpus with and without a repo context and resolve_sha is keyed on (cwd, sha), so the same candidates were counted twice. Adds the rev-parse leg and names the two instruments. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rewrites the four mistune integrations (SHA links, codespan SHA links, Pygments, tag protection, Markdown-side linkify) against wenmode and records what the project's linkifier tests and the real corpus say about them: same linked-SHA multiset on all 5936 bodies on the HTML side, 45 test cases passing, and the fragilities that a post-parse transform removes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
wenmode is mistune's successor by the same author. The three pipelines (two HTML singletons, the Markdown output's tag protection) now share one rule set: wenmode's github preset with strikethrough restricted to ~~two~~, bare-URL autolinks that drop a trailing quote and never link e-mail-shaped tokens, wenmode's GFM tag filter off so every raw-HTML node is fully escaped, the table rule ordered after the other block openers, and the definition-list plugin. SHA linkification (#156) becomes one post-parse transform over Text and InlineCode nodes instead of two order-sensitive inline rules; it links the same SHA multiset as before on a 5936-body corpus. The Markdown output no longer re-renders anything: linkify_shas_in_text and _protect_html_tags parse with source positions and splice only the byte ranges they change, so the 238-line hand-rolled tokenizer goes and everything outside the edits stays byte-identical. The escape contract (#245) is kept in full: raw HTML is entity-escaped by both HTML renderers, and link targets use mistune's scheme denylist rather than wenmode's allowlist, which would have dropped editor and file:line targets. Two mistune bugs are deliberately not reproduced: bare URLs swallowing a trailing ** into the href, and backslash-newline rendering as a literal backslash before the break. Snapshot churn: 9 table-cell lines (align= instead of style=) and the footnote heading CSS in each page snapshot; no block added or removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds § 2.17 to the application model (rule set, the three pipelines, the escape contract, why extensions are transforms and the Markdown output splices), renames the engine in contributor docs and plugin comments, and extends work/wenmode-evaluation.md with the migration's deliverable: every old/new rendering difference on 5936 real and 957 fixture bodies attributed to a cause and labelled improvement, neutral or regression, plus verified reproductions of five wenmode 0.15 bugs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds search-ms, ms-appinstaller, ms-msdt, intent, blob, filesystem and about to the scheme denylist: a click on any of them leaves the page for the desktop or the browser internals, and nothing in a transcript legitimately links to one. Pins the policy in both directions with a test (editor, file:line and relative targets keep their href). Also states precisely what ordering the table rule last costs: a table whose header row starts with a list marker becomes a list item holding a table with header 'a' instead of a table with header '- a'.

Align all fallback documentation with the actual HtmlRenderer contract.
A class-defined format_html method is selected by HtmlRenderer._dispatch_format, and its return value is used directly. Returning None does not fall back to format_markdown. Omit format_html to use wenmode synthesis, or return a real HTML string.

…ble rule Bounds the dependency to the tested 0.15 API range: the autolink, strikethrough and HTML-renderer extensions reach into wenmode rule and renderer internals that a beta minor release may change. If a future github() preset no longer carries a 'table' rule, building the rule set now raises instead of inserting None into it. Replaces the deprecated clip property in the visually-hidden footnote heading with clip-path (the ten page snapshots change by that one line each), and rewords two comments whose claims were carried over from mistune unmeasured.

Closes #323.
What changes
The Markdown engine moves from mistune to wenmode 0.15 (mistune's successor by the same author). All three pipelines — the two HTML content renderers and the Markdown output's tag protection — share one rule set,
markdown_plugins.transcript_rules(): wenmode'sgithubpreset with~~two~~(transcript prose says "~2, ~6 min" constantly);"/'and never link e-mail-shaped tokens (ruff@0.6.0,git@github.com:);SHA linkification (#156) is one post-parse transform over
TextandInlineCodenodes instead of two order-sensitive inline rules. It links exactly the same SHA multiset as before on a 5936-body corpus.The Markdown output no longer re-renders anything.
linkify_shas_in_textand_protect_html_tagsparse withpositions=Trueand splice only the byte ranges they change, so the 238-line hand-rolled tokenizer is gone and everything outside the edits is byte-identical to the source. The seven Markdown snapshots are unchanged.The escape contract (#245) is kept in full. Raw HTML is entity-escaped by both HTML renderers. Link targets use a scheme denylist (mistune's list plus
search-ms,ms-appinstaller,ms-msdt,intent,blob,filesystem,about) rather than wenmode's allowlist, which would have dropped editor (cci:) andfile:linetargets; a new test pins both directions. Editor schemes such asvscode:andcci:are a deliberate keep: they need a click and cannot run script in the page. 38 XSS payloads through all three renderers leave no live tag, event handler or unsafe scheme; the browser XSS suite passes unchanged.Every rendering difference, classified
This is not bug-for-bug. Old and new pipelines were run over 5936 real message bodies and 957 fixture bodies; every difference is attributed to a cause and labelled in
work/wenmode-evaluation.md(last section). 143 real and 65 fixture bodies differ, 0 unexplained, 19 causes:**into its href; backslash-newline is a hard break instead of a literal\before<br />(Claude Code's shift-enter writes these);&/©are decoded once instead of shown double-escaped; ragged table rows are no longer dropped; a phantom table from201 | textlines that ate a line is gone; list tightness follows CommonMark where mistune rendered loose.align=instead ofstyle=, list items put a newline before<p>and nested blocks, task lists use GFM checkbox markup, indented code keeps its final newline.N.(N ≠ 1) after a dedented bullet item joins the item; a line after an indented code block inside a list item is lazily continued. Not yet reported upstream; the reproductions below are ready to file.Known wenmode 0.15 bugs
Five, each with a minimal reproduction in the evaluation doc, verified against markdown-it-py and commonmark.py; none filed upstream yet. Two are worked around here: the table rule blocking list interruption (
a\n- b | cstayed one paragraph — ordering the rule last fixes it; the one shape it changes is- a | bover a delimiter row, which becomes a list item holding a table with headerainstead of a table with header- a, and nothing in either corpus has that shape), and trailing quotes kept in extended autolinks. Two feature requests would remove local code: a two-tilde-only option onStrikethrough, and a disallowed-tags override that escapes fully rather than half.Tests and snapshots
just cigreen. Snapshot churn is+169/-19with no block added or removed: nine table-cell lines and the footnote-heading CSS block in each page snapshot.wenmodeis bounded below 0.16 because the extensions use its rule and renderer internals.test_commit_linkifier.pymoves to the wenmode plugin API; one test now asserts CommonMark's tab-indent behaviour instead of pinning the old tokenizer's gap.Interaction with #327
The SHA resolver rewrite in #327 changes which SHAs resolve; this PR changes what consumes the answers. On the pair of tips
a91cbc1+7787d9aa combined tree rendered the 5936-body corpus byte-identical with 1080 commit links on both sides, and the linkifier tests from both branches passed together. The one commit since then (abdc98e) touches neither the resolver calls nor the shared test file, so that result holds by reasoning rather than by re-measurement; re-running it is one command if wanted before the two are merged.Not in this PR
Four comments in
