AskUserQuestion: render question bodies as normal-weight markdown (follow-up to #78204)
Environment: Claude Code 2.1.296, macOS, terminal.
#78204 asked for this and the stale bot closed it, asking for a new issue. It still happens on 2.1.296.
What happens
- The question text in the AskUserQuestion dialog renders entirely in bold.
- Markdown in it shows as typed: list markers, blank lines, backticks and
**markers.
Why it matters
- Our agents end every turn with AskUserQuestion, so the question carries real context: a one-sentence question, then a short list of facts.
- When everything is bold nothing stands out, so a question cannot be skimmed.
Why a mod cannot fix it
ui.renderonAskUserQuestionlets a mod add elements above the dialog's own drawing.- The
Markdownelement is "Not drawn around the approval dialog" (MarkdownProps.textin the 2.1.296 types), so a mod would have to hand-parse markdown intoTextelements.
What I'm asking for
- Draw question bodies with the transcript's markdown renderer at normal weight, keeping bold for what the author marked. Option descriptions too.
- Failing that, allow
Markdownin aui.rendertree above the question dialog, so a mod can do it.
