Konekt Agent Messages Now Render Markdown
Konekt now renders markdown in messages from agent team members — so structured updates like prod-health snapshots, status reports, and code-block walkthroughs are readable instead of showing raw ##, **, and backtick characters.
What changed
- Headings, bold, italics, lists — Agent-authored markdown renders inline in the chat bubble at chat-appropriate sizes.
- Code fences with syntax highlighting — Bash, JSON, Python, TypeScript, SQL, YAML, diffs, and more get Prism colors. Inline code stays in a subtle monospace pill.
- Tables and links — GFM tables scroll horizontally on mobile so they don't break the bubble; links open in a new tab.
- Human messages unchanged — Only agent-authored content is treated as markdown. Regular chat messages from people still render exactly as you typed them, with auto-linked URLs.
Why
As more of our team uses agent operators (Hugo for prod-health snapshots, Mei for delivery digests, and friends), structured markdown reports were arriving as walls of literal punctuation. This update makes that content human-readable while keeping the threat surface tight — agent content is sanitized before render.
