Xinmin Zeng 503eeac788 fix(frontend): render user messages as plain text and cap blockquote nesting (#3502)
* fix(frontend): render user messages as plain text and cap blockquote nesting

User messages are typed or pasted plain text, not authored Markdown, but
they were rendered through the full Streamdown pipeline. Pasted source
files got fragmented (indented chunks become code blocks, paragraphs
collapse and lose indentation), "$...$" spans were KaTeX-ified, and a
message with thousands of nested ">" markers overflowed the call stack
in marked's recursive blockquote lexer, permanently crashing the thread
on every load.

Render human message content verbatim with pre-wrap instead, and cap
blockquote nesting at 100 levels at the Streamdown chokepoint so model
output cannot trigger the same recursion either.

Closes #3500

* fix(frontend): absorb marked lexer crashes with a render fallback boundary

Review found two gaps in the nesting cap: marked's list and blockquote
tokenizers are mutually recursive, so a list marker in front of the
quote chain ("- > > > ...") bypassed the blockquote-only regex and
still overflowed the stack; and the line-based rewrite was fence-blind,
silently truncating literal ">" runs inside code blocks.

Add an error boundary around Streamdown that renders the raw content as
plain pre-wrap text when rendering throws (retrying on the next content
change), keep the cap as a fast path for the dominant pure-">" case,
and make it skip fenced and indented code lines.

Scripts

Command Description
pnpm dev Start development server with Turbopack
pnpm build Build for production
pnpm start Start production server
pnpm test Run unit tests with Vitest
pnpm test:e2e Run E2E tests with Playwright
pnpm format Check formatting with Prettier
pnpm format:write Apply formatting with Prettier

Development Notes

  • Uses pnpm workspaces (see packageManager in package.json)
  • Turbopack enabled by default in development for faster builds
  • Environment validation can be skipped with SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION=1 (useful for Docker)
  • Backend API URLs are optional; nginx proxy is used by default in development
