• Ad Hoc: Fix Markdown Link Rendering in Copilot Streaming Messages (Issue #40)
    • Identified root cause: Copilot streaming chunks with markdown links were sent as plain text instead of formatted HTML
    • Added hasMarkdownLinks() helper function to detect markdown links in text chunks using regex pattern
    • Modified Copilot streaming callback to route chunks with markdown to HTML formatting using existing sendMarkdownMessage() helper
    • Created comprehensive test suite to verify markdown detection, HTML formatting, and end-to-end streaming behavior
    • Ensured fix is surgical and targeted - only affects Copilot status messages with GitHub links, preserves all existing functionality
    • All 106 tests passing, confirming no regressions introduced
    • Follow-up: Refactored function naming based on user feedback
      • Enhanced existing sendMarkdownMessage() function to automatically detect markdown content instead of creating new sendMessageSmart() function
      • Avoided function naming changes to reduce cognitive overhead and merge conflict potential
      • Generalized markdown detection to include links, code blocks, bold, italic, and headings
      • Replaced all message sending calls to use enhanced smart detection while preserving existing function names
      • All 110 tests continue to pass with comprehensive markdown support
