//! Markdown-to-ratatui rendering entry points.
//!
//! This module provides the public API surface that the rest of the TUI uses
//! to turn markdown source into `Vec<Line<'static>>`.  Two variants exist:
//!
//! - [`append_markdown`] -- general-purpose, used for plan blocks and history
//!   cells that already hold pre-processed markdown (no fence unwrapping).
//! - [`append_markdown_agent`] -- for agent responses.  Runs
//!   [`unwrap_markdown_fences`] first so that `` ```md ``/`` ```markdown ``
//!   fences containing tables are stripped and `pulldown-cmark` sees raw
//!   table syntax instead of fenced code.
//!
//! ## Why fence unwrapping exists
//!
//! LLM agents frequently wrap tables in `` ```markdown `` fences, treating
//! them as code.  Without unwrapping, `pulldown-cmark` parses those lines
//! as a fenced code block and renders them as monospace code rather than a
//! structured table.  The unwrapper is intentionally conservative: it
//! buffers the entire fence body before deciding, only unwraps fences whose
//! info string is `md` or `markdown` AND whose body contains a
//! header+delimiter pair, and degrades gracefully on unclosed fences.
