normalizeChatMath(text) changes math-like content inside code fences nested under list items, so - ```\n \(x\)\n ```` renders and copies instead of the literal(x)`. Its fence detection does not recognize the opening fence after the list marker; update it to track list-contained fences before normalizing their contents.

normalizeChatMath(text) rewrites the valid inline expression $2 + 2$ to \$2 + 2$, so remarkMath no longer sees a math delimiter and the equation renders as literal text. The currency-detection rule treats the opening $ as currency because the following digit is followed by whitespace; it should only escape that case when the delimiter cannot form a valid math span.

Math rendering is wired up correctly through both the sanitized and unsanitized pipelines (language-math survives the schema, so rehypeKatex after rehypeSanitize still renders). Two issues remain around the KaTeX styling contract — see inline comments.
Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Enabling KaTeX introduces a wide block that no .chat-markdown rule owns. KaTeX's own CSS sets white-space: nowrap on .katex-display > .katex and provides no horizontal overflow handling, and the container's [overflow-wrap:anywhere] cannot break it — so a long $$…$$ equation overflows the message column instead of scrolling, unlike every other wide block here (.chat-markdown pre has max-width: 100%; overflow-x: auto plus the thin scrollbar treatment, and tables live in the scroll-fade container).
Generated-markdown chrome is global-CSS-owned in this codebase, so the smallest fix is a rule next to .chat-markdown pre in apps/web/src/index.css:
.chat-markdown .katex-display {
max-width: 100%;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;
scrollbar-width: thin;
scrollbar-color: color-mix(in srgb, var(--contrast-border) 78%, transparent) transparent;
}Posted via Macroscope — UI Consistency

This stylesheet and the renderer that produces the markup are two different KaTeX versions. The import resolves to apps/web's new direct dependency katex@0.18.4, while rehype-katex@7.0.1 renders with its own katex@0.16.47 (see pnpm-lock.yaml). KaTeX's CSS is version-locked to the HTML it emits (KaTeX_* @font-face set, .katex* structure, the .katex-mathml clip rule that hides the MathML copy), so mixing them risks fallback-font metrics or a visible duplicate of the equation text — and it also ships a second copy of KaTeX's assets.
Smallest fix: declare the direct katex dependency at the version rehype-katex resolves (^0.16.x, consistent with the @types/katex: ^0.16.8 devDependency already added) so this CSS comes from the same package instance that renders the math.

For assistant messages, where parseRawHtml defaults to true, the sanitizer runs before this plugin and the configured schema does not allow math-display on <code>. The default schema retains language-math but strips math-display, so rehype-katex still processes $$…$$ and \[…\] but uses inline mode rather than producing the intended .katex-display output. Preserve the display marker in the sanitize schema or otherwise sanitize without removing the mode before invoking KaTeX.

Checked the web/desktop ChatMarkdown path and the mobile ThreadFeed path: this only adds typesetting to web/desktop, while mobile continues to pass messages through @t3tools/mobile-markdown-text, whose math_inline and math_block cases append the source as plain text. Consequently, the same provider response is typeset on web/desktop but unformatted on iOS and Android; implement the corresponding mobile behavior rather than limiting this chat fix to one client.

When valid inline math begins with a number followed by whitespace or /, such as $2 + 2 = 4$ or $1/2$, this currency heuristic rewrites the opening delimiter to \$. remark-math therefore never receives a matching math span and the newly supported formula remains literal; the price check needs to consider the matching closing delimiter or otherwise distinguish these common formulas from currency.

For a quoted display expression such as > \[x+y\] or > $$x+y$$, matching is performed against the stripped content, but the replacement returned here omits the original > prefix. The formula is consequently rendered outside the blockquote and changes the message structure; preserve and apply the container prefix to every generated display-math line.

These new component tests render to a string and assert KaTeX's generated class attribute, coupling coverage to implementation markup instead of meaningful observable behavior. Replace these assertions with focused parser/plugin behavior coverage or an appropriate integrated client assertion, as required by the repository's testing guidance.

When a user selects and copies rendered math such as $x^2$, the existing chat clipboard serializer recursively reads KaTeX's .katex-mathml subtree while skipping only the aria-hidden HTML presentation. That subtree contains both MathML token text and the TeX <annotation>, so the plain-text clipboard becomes duplicated content such as x2x^2 instead of the original $x^2$; mark KaTeX output with its Markdown source or add a serializer case for the annotation.

The destination guard only recognizes inline links containing ](, so a reference definition such as [source]: https://example.com/\(intro\) reaches normalizeMathText and is rewritten to a different URL containing $intro$. Messages using [Open][source] will therefore navigate to the wrong target; protect reference-definition destinations before normalizing provider delimiters.

CommonMark code spans may cross a newline, but splitting the input here makes inline-code state local to each line. For valid source such as an opening backtick followed on the next line by \(x\) and the closing backtick, the second line is normalized to $x$ even though it belongs to the code span, silently changing the displayed code example; scan code-span delimiters across the complete source rather than independently per line.

When prose intentionally contains two backslashes before each parenthesis, as in Markdown source \\(x\\) used to display the literal \(x\), this regex starts matching at the second backslash and rewrites the text to escaped dollar signs. The rendered message consequently displays $x$ instead of the authored delimiter example; check the preceding escape parity and normalize only unescaped provider delimiters.

Passing the normalized string into ReactMarkdown changes source lengths—\(x\) shrinks, protected prices gain a backslash, and display forms gain newlines—but the list-item renderer still applies each normalized node.position.start.offset to the original text. In FileMarkdownPreview, a task appearing after any such transformation therefore receives a missing or incorrect marker offset, so toggling its checkbox does nothing or can target the wrong task; retain an offset map or avoid length-changing preprocessing before parsing.

What Changed
Chat markdown now parses and renders inline and display mathematics with
remark-math,rehype-katex, and KaTeX.Supported input includes:
$x^2$\(x^2\)$$x^2$$\[x^2\]lineProvider-style delimiters are normalized before markdown parsing, but source inside fenced code, indented code, inline code, link destinations, and HTML tags remains unchanged.
Why
Agent responses frequently use LaTeX delimiters that the existing markdown pipeline displayed as literal punctuation. Some delimiters, particularly
\(…\)and\[…\], also need source-level normalization because CommonMark consumes their escapes before a later syntax-tree plugin can recognize them.The normalizer is deliberately conservative. It preserves common currency forms such as
$5-$10,$5/month,$5%, and($5 off), and leaves inline bracket forms such as\[1\]literal because those are commonly citations rather than equations.Test Coverage

Low Risk
Changes are confined to chat markdown rendering and preprocessing; main caveat is math/KaTeX now running when

Chat messages can now show LaTeX math in
ChatMarkdownviaremark-math,rehype-katex, and KaTeX CSS, supporting$…$,$$…$$,\(...\), and\[…\](including standalone display lines).A new
normalizeChatMathpreprocessor rewrites provider-style delimiters to dollar forms and escapes unpaired$so prices and ranges like$12.50or$5/monthstay literal. It skips fenced/indented/inline code, link destinations, and HTML; citation-like\[1\]in prose is left alone while non-numeric\[…\]in prose becomes display math.When
parseRawHtmlis false, rehype now still runs KaTeX-only plugins (previously rehype was disabled entirely).
