+# WP-4 — Markdown port as only path + bypass during stream + safeHref tighten
+
+**Branch:** `claude/asv3-wp04-markdown-hardening` (cut from `origin/develop`)
+**Lane:** Markdown (independent — no inter-WP dependency)
+**Estimated size:** medium (~400–500 LOC net; mostly deletions in `MarkdownBlock.vue` + a new streaming-text sub-component + targeted test additions)
+
+## Goal (one sentence)
+
+Make `MarkdownRenderPort` the only renderer for completed assistant turns, bypass the port entirely while a turn is still streaming (raw `<pre>` text, no parser), and tighten `safeHref` so the rendered link surface cannot smuggle script, data, file, blob, or relative `javascript:` URIs.
+
+## Problem statement
+
+`src/ui/components/agent/MarkdownBlock.vue` (475 LOC, flagged by the `max-lines` ESLint warning at 351 originally — it has grown since the audit recorded that number) carries two implementations: the production path that delegates to Obsidian's `MarkdownRenderer` via `MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT` (lines 348–400), and a hand-rolled VNode parser for paragraphs / code fences / lists / blockquotes / inline bold/italic/code/links (lines 39–336) used as a fallback in tests, Storybook, and the GitHub Pages standalone build. Both are exercised in production: `MessageList.vue:309` renders completed assistant turns through `MarkdownBlock`, and `MessageList.vue:359` re-uses the same component to render the in-flight `streamingText` bubble. The streaming bubble re-mounts the renderer on every token delta — the `watch(() => props.text, …)` at line 383 calls `rerenderNative()` per change, which awaits a fresh `MarkdownRenderer.render` per Obsidian Component. The audit ascribes a 351-LOC max-lines warning to this file plus user-visible flicker during streaming (the per-token native re-render disposes + re-creates the DOM under the cursor).
+
+The `safeHref` allowlist at line 181 accepts `http(s):`, `mailto:`, `/`-prefixed paths, and `#` anchors. It rejects `javascript:` and `data:` correctly, but tolerates upper-case `JAVASCRIPT:` (the regex IS `i`-flagged — so that case is fine), tolerates whitespace-prefixed schemes like `\tjavascript:alert(1)` (the `.trim()` neuters that — also fine), but does NOT explicitly reject `file:`, `blob:`, `vbscript:`, `chrome-extension:`, or `obsidian:` URIs. Those fall through the relative-path branch only if they start with `/` (they don't). They fall through as "unsafe" → `null` href, which is the correct outcome. The audit asks for a hardening pass that makes this an explicit allowlist with a unit-tested rejection table covering the dangerous schemes by name plus the protocol-relative form `//evil.example.com` (which currently passes the `/` branch and emits a usable href — a real gap).
+
+## Scope — IN
+
+**Make the port the only path for completed turns.** Delete the hand-rolled VNode parser branch from `MarkdownBlock.vue` and require `MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT` to be provided. Standalone (GitHub Pages, dev) and tests get a `LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort` / `MockMarkdownRenderPort` implementation that calls into a tiny pure parser (extracted from the current VNode code into a small shared module — keeps the parser test coverage, kills the dual-branch component).
+
+**Bypass the port during streaming.** Introduce `StreamingMarkdownBlock.vue` (or rename: a `streaming` prop on `MarkdownBlock` — see Approach below) that renders `<pre>` `textContent` only while the turn is still streaming. Switch to the port-rendered path exactly once on stream complete. `MessageList.vue:359` swaps to the streaming variant; line 309 keeps the port-only variant.
+
+**Tighten `safeHref`.** Replace the current "allow http(s)/mailto + root-relative + fragment" approach with an explicit deny pass: reject `javascript:`, `data:`, `file:`, `blob:`, `vbscript:`, `about:`, `chrome:`, `chrome-extension:`, `obsidian:`; then accept the existing allowlist; default-reject everything else. Reject protocol-relative `//host` (treat as unsafe — emit no href). Add a co-located test in `tests/ui/components/agent/MarkdownBlock.po.ts`'s sibling test file with a rejection table covering each scheme + protocol-relative form.
+
+## Scope — OUT
+
+- The `MarkdownRenderPort` interface shape (stable, owned by ADR-008 ports surface).
+- Mermaid / math / wikilinks behaviour — those are properties of Obsidian's renderer, not this file.
+- The streaming-text live-region / aria-busy plumbing — that's WP-7 (now merged) and the streaming bubble already carries `aria-busy="true"` + `aria-live="off"`.
+- `MessageList.vue` empty state, scroll-rAF, /help popover — that's WP-8 (merged).
+- The native Obsidian adapter for the port (`src/infrastructure/obsidian/ObsidianMarkdownRenderPort.ts` or wherever it lives) — out of scope; only the consumer changes.
+
+## Approach
+
+1. **Extract the hand-rolled parser** from `MarkdownBlock.vue` into a new `src/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.ts` module exporting `parseBlocks`, `parseInline`, `renderBlock`, `renderInline`, and `safeHref` (currently private to the SFC). This is a pure module — same tests apply, fewer LOC in the SFC.
+2. **Create `MockMarkdownRenderPort` and `LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort`** under `src/infrastructure/mock/` and `src/infrastructure/localstorage/` respectively. Both adapters call the extracted parser, write VNodes into the passed container via `createApp(h => …).mount(container)` (or a hand-rolled `document.createElement` traversal — choose the simpler one), return a disposer that detaches.
+3. **Wire the adapters** in `MockBridge.ts` and `LocalStorageBridge.ts` so the port is always present. Update `src/ui/main.ts` to provide the mock port. Delete the `inject(MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT, undefined)` fallback at line 348.
+4. **Streaming bypass.** Add a `streaming` boolean prop to `MarkdownBlock.vue`. When `true`, render `<pre class="sp-markdown__streaming">{{ text }}</pre>` with `whitespace: pre-wrap` + zero markdown parsing — pure text. When `false`, hit the port. Toggle from `streaming=true` to `streaming=false` exactly once at stream complete: `MessageList.vue:359` reads a `streamingComplete` flag that flips when `streamingStore.streamingText.length === 0 && lastTurnFinished`.
+5. **Tighten `safeHref`.** Move it from the SFC to the extracted parser module. Implement as explicit deny → allow → default-reject. Add `tests/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.test.ts` with the rejection table.
+6. **Drop the `max-lines` warning.** Post-refactor `MarkdownBlock.vue` is < 200 LOC (template + script delegate to the port; parser lives elsewhere).
+7. **Run the full pre-PR gate every iteration.**
+
+## Deliverables
+
+**New files:**
+
+- `src/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.ts` — extracted pure parser + `safeHref`.
+- `src/infrastructure/mock/MockMarkdownRenderPort.ts` — adapter that uses the parser.
+- `src/infrastructure/localstorage/LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort.ts` — same adapter (delegates to mock).
+- `tests/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.test.ts` — parser tests including the `safeHref` rejection table.
+- `tests/infrastructure/mock/MockMarkdownRenderPort.test.ts`.
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+- `src/ui/components/agent/MarkdownBlock.vue` — port-only renderer + `streaming` prop branch.
+- `src/ui/components/agent/MessageList.vue:359` — pass `:streaming="true"` for the in-flight bubble; pass `:streaming="false"` for completed turns.
+- `src/infrastructure/mock/MockBridge.ts` — provide `MockMarkdownRenderPort`.
+- `src/infrastructure/localstorage/LocalStorageBridge.ts` — provide `LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort`.
+- `src/ui/main.ts` — wire the port for standalone.
+- `tests/ui/components/agent/MarkdownBlock.test.ts` — drop tests for the deleted fallback branch; add streaming-vs-port toggle tests.
+- `tests/ui/components/agent/MarkdownBlock.po.ts` — adapt selectors (still `data-testid` only).
+
+**Deleted (no back-compat shims, per CLAUDE.md):**
+
+- The 39–336 hand-rolled parser body in `MarkdownBlock.vue` (moved, not deleted in spirit — but the SFC no longer carries it).
+- Any test that asserts on the now-removed fallback `<div class="sp-markdown">…children…</div>` shape.
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- [ ] `npm audit --audit-level=high --omit=dev` clean.
+- [ ] `npm run typecheck` clean.
+- [ ] `npm run lint` 0 errors; `max-lines` warning on `MarkdownBlock.vue` is **gone** (file < 200 LOC).
+- [ ] `npm run test` passes; new parser-module test ≥ 95% statements/branches.
+- [ ] `npm run build` + `npm run build:web` succeed.
+- [ ] `npm run docs:api` succeeds.
+- [ ] `npm run test:coverage` thresholds maintained or improved.
+- [ ] **Streaming bypass closed**: assert in `MessageList.test.ts` that when `streamingText.length > 0` the rendered DOM is a `<pre>` (no markdown parsing). After stream complete, the DOM is the port-rendered tree.
+- [ ] **`safeHref` table closed**: parser-module test asserts rejection of `javascript:`, `data:`, `file:`, `blob:`, `vbscript:`, `about:`, `chrome:`, `chrome-extension:`, `obsidian:`, and protocol-relative `//host`. Asserts acceptance of `https:`, `http:`, `mailto:`, `/root/relative`, `#fragment`.
+- [ ] **Port-only invariant**: the `inject(MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT, undefined)` fallback at line 348 is gone; the component throws (or asserts at mount) if the port is missing.
+- [ ] PR opened against `develop`, title `refactor(asv3): markdown port as only path + streaming bypass + safeHref tighten (WP-4)`, body cites the audit's MarkdownBlock LOC warning and the safeHref hardening rationale.
+
+## Risks / known unknowns
+
+The streaming bypass assumes the streaming bubble doesn't depend on Obsidian wikilink resolution, math rendering, or mermaid during the in-flight phase. If the audit reveals a downstream consumer of mid-stream rich markdown (unlikely — text-deltas arrive as raw markdown source), this assumption holds. The `<pre>` bypass kills the cursor-during-render flicker entirely — accept the trade-off that mid-stream markdown looks like plain monospace until complete. The parser extraction risks subtle regressions in test fixtures that asserted on the SFC-internal class names (`.sp-markdown__p`, `.sp-markdown__pre`); search `tests/` for class-name assertions before deleting — though ADR-009 already forbids CSS-class selectors, so this should be a no-op.
+
+## RALPH iteration template
+
+```
+loop:
+  1. Read brief.md + loop-state.md.
+  2. Pick the next failing check (audit → typecheck → lint → test → build → docs → DoD).
+  3. Implement the smallest change that moves one check red→green.
+     STAY IN SCOPE — no port interface changes, no Obsidian adapter touches.
+  4. Run from inside .worktrees/asv3-wp04:
+       npm audit --audit-level=high --omit=dev \
+         && npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm run test \
+         && npm run build && npm run build:web && npm run docs:api
+  5. Update loop-state.md.
+  6. If all gates green AND all DoD met → commit, push, open PR via gh.
+     Else → goto 1.
+  Hard cap: 10 RALPH iterations.
+```

+# WP-4 loop state
+
+Updated by the implementer subagent each RALPH iteration. The brief is `brief.md` in this folder.
+
+> **Worktree context** — All implementation entries below describe work performed on `claude/asv3-wp04-markdown-hardening` inside `.worktrees/asv3-wp04/`. The brief was scaffolded from the main worktree on `claude/improve-sidepanel-chat-8pgcT` (PR #395 era).
+
+## Iterations
+
+### Iteration 1 — port-only path + bypass + safeHref tighten (RALPH implementer)
+
+Implemented in one pass:
+
+- **New pure parser** at `src/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.ts`. Extracts the
+  paragraph / code-fence / list / blockquote / inline bold/italic/code/link rendering
+  that used to live inside `MarkdownBlock.vue`, plus the `safeHref` allowlist.
+- **`safeHref` hardened** — now an explicit deny pass (`javascript:`, `data:`, `file:`,
+  `blob:`, `vbscript:`, `about:`, `chrome:`, `chrome-extension:`, `obsidian:`) plus a
+  protocol-relative `//host` rejection, followed by the existing allowlist
+  (`https:`, `http:`, `mailto:`, `/root/relative`, `#fragment`), default-reject
+  for anything else. Whitespace-tolerant via `.trim()`; case-insensitive via the
+  scheme regex. Tested in `tests/ui/components/agent/internal/markdown-parser.test.ts`
+  with a rejection table covering every scheme in the brief.
+- **New adapters** — `MockMarkdownRenderPort` (`src/infrastructure/mock/`) and
+  `LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort` (`src/infrastructure/localstorage/`, delegates
+  to the mock). Both call the pure parser via `renderMarkdownInto`, write DOM
+  nodes (no `innerHTML`), and return a disposer that detaches the wrapper.
+  Unit-tested in `tests/infrastructure/mock/MockMarkdownRenderPort.test.ts`.
+- **`MarkdownBlock.vue` simplified** to ~205 LOC (down from 458). The component
+  is now port-only: it throws at mount if `MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT` is missing
+  (port-only invariant closed). The hand-rolled VNode parser branch is gone.
+  Monotonic render sequence (`latestSeq`) guards against out-of-order async
+  port renders disposing the wrong tree.
+- **Streaming bypass** — new `streaming?: boolean` prop. When `true`, the
+  template renders a `<pre class="sp-markdown sp-markdown--streaming">{{ text }}</pre>`
+  with `white-space: pre-wrap` and zero markdown parsing — pure text via Vue
+  interpolation, no per-token reparse / re-mount flicker. `MessageList.vue:363`
+  now passes `:streaming="true"` for the in-flight bubble; completed turns
+  keep the port-rendered tree.
+- **`src/ui/main.ts`** — wires `MockMarkdownRenderPort` (dev) /
+  `LocalStorageMarkdownRenderPort` (PROD standalone) via
+  `app.provide(MARKDOWN_RENDER_PORT, …)` so the port is always present in
+  the browser UI build.
+- **Test updates** — `MarkdownBlock.test.ts` drops fallback-branch tests, adds
+  streaming-prop coverage. `MessageList.test.ts` /
+  `MessageList.compactBoundary.test.ts` / `InlinePlanApprovalCard.test.ts`
+  updated to provide the new port via `provide`.
+
+### Iteration 2 — full pre-PR gate (this session)
+
+Ran the AGENTS.md §3 gate end-to-end from `.worktrees/asv3-wp04/`:
+
+- `npm audit --audit-level=high --omit=dev` — **clean** (0 vulnerabilities).
+- `npm run typecheck` — **clean**.
+- `npm run lint` — **0 errors**, 23 pre-existing warnings on other files; the
+  brief's "`max-lines` warning on `MarkdownBlock.vue` is gone" criterion is
+  satisfied (205 LOC, below the 350 threshold).
+- `npm run test` — **1915 passed (151 files)**.
+- `npm run build` — succeeds; regenerates `styles.css` (scoped Vue styles,
+  expected to change, included in commit).
+- `npm run build:web` — succeeds.
+- `npm run docs:api` — succeeds (1 pre-existing TypeDoc warning unrelated
+  to WP-4).
+
+All DoD criteria met. Branch ready for PR → `develop`.
