What

Adds a proposal, docs/proposals/mermaid-diagrams.md, for rendering a fenced mermaid block as a diagram in desktop chat replies, reasoning traces and Studio Markdown documents. It would use @streamdown/mermaid in the Streamdown setup those surfaces already share.

Why

The web app has rendered Mermaid since #1534; the desktop app still shows the block as code. A new feature starts as a proposal (AGENTS.md).

Decisions in the proposal:

• Diagrams render only once a reply has finished streaming, the same way code highlighting waits.
• Mermaid loads in its own chunk the first time a diagram appears.
• securityLevel: strict, not configurable.
• The diagram follows the app's theme.
• An invalid diagram falls back to its source.
• Word and PDF exports are not touched.

Fixes #1497 (proposal only; implementation follows once it is accepted)

How to test

python scripts/check_docs.py

High-level PR Summary

This PR adds a proposal document for rendering Mermaid diagrams in the desktop app's chat replies, reasoning traces, and Studio Markdown documents. The proposal outlines the approach of using the @streamdown/mermaid plugin to bring diagram rendering to the desktop app (which the web app already has since #1534). Key decisions include rendering diagrams only after streaming completes, lazy-loading Mermaid when first needed, using strict security settings, following the app's theme, and gracefully falling back to source code for invalid diagrams. The proposal also specifies that Word/PDF exports will not be affected and includes testing requirements for the future implementation.

📝 Walkthrough

This change proposes Mermaid rendering in finished chat replies, reasoning traces, and Studio Markdown documents. It describes loading, security, theme, and error-handling requirements. It does not implement rendering.

Changes: Mermaid rendering proposal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Rendering proposal docs/proposals/mermaid-diagrams.md	The proposal describes rendering Mermaid diagrams in finished content, lazy loading, strict security settings, theme synchronization, and fallback behavior. It states that copied Markdown and exports remain unchanged, identifies exclusions, and lists planned checks.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in docs/proposals/mermaid-diagrams.md: Adds a proposal describing Mermaid rendering across desktop reply, trace, and Studio Markdown surfaces, with diagrams limited to finished content. It specifies dynamic loading on first use, strict security, theme-aware rendering, source-preserving parse-error handling, unchanged exports, out-of-scope items, and implementation checks.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1497 requires working chat behavior: detect fenced mermaid blocks, render valid diagrams, provide raw-source fallback, add a “Copy source” action, use safe rendering, and support light/dark themes. The whole-PR diff adds only docs/proposals/mermaid-diagrams.md. It adds no runtime implementation or automated tests. The proposal describes future tests, but it does not satisfy the coding requirements.

Resolution

Implement the #1497 chat behavior and add automated tests for detection, valid rendering, fallback, source copying, security, and theme handling. Keep the proposal checks separate from implementation evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The proposal includes rendering in reasoning traces, Studio Markdown documents, and podcast transcripts. Direct issue #1497 covers chat responses only. The linked issue provides no requirement for these additional surfaces.

Resolution

Limit this proposal to chat responses, or link active issues that require the reasoning-trace, Studio Markdown, and podcast-transcript scope.
