CommonMark reads the `\.` in `C:\Users\me\.t3` as an escape, so prose paths in chat messages lost the separator before dot-prefixed folders. pingdotgg#12615 fixed link and image destinations; this covers drive paths in text on web and mobile.

🟡 Medium components/ChatMarkdown.tsx:664
keepWindowsPathEscape fails to restore the separator in paths containing spaces, such as C:\Users\Jane Doe\.config, so the rendered text becomes C:\Users\Jane Doe.config. WINDOWS_DRIVE_PATH_TAIL_REGEX uses \S*, which cannot match the space before the escaped component; update the path matcher to accept spaces (and other valid Windows filename characters) in the path tail.

WINDOWS_PROSE_PATH_PATTERNexcludes an unescaped backtick while restoring parsed text, although the source-side alternative accepts\`` andMARKDOWN_ESCAPE_PATTERNremoves that separator. Thus a valid drive path such asC:\work`file.txtis recorded asC:\work`file.txt->C:\workfile.txt, but the text-node replacement stops before the backtick and never finds that map key; the rendered mobile path still loses the separator.
apps/mobile/modules/t3-markdown-text/src/nativeMarkdownText.ts:524
WINDOWS_PROSE_PATH_PATTERNstops at whitespace, so it never records or restores an otherwise valid path whose component contains a space. ForC:\Users\Jane Doe\.config, the source scan records onlyC:\Users\Jane, while md4c producesC:\Users\Jane Doe.config; the replacement cannot match the full map key and the rendered mobile message still drops the backslash before.config.
apps/mobile/modules/t3-markdown-text/src/nativeMarkdownText.ts:524
The mobile prose matcher also rejects parentheses even though they are valid Windows filename characters. With
C:\repo (old)\.config, both source collection and text replacement stop at(, so no map entry exists for the parsedC:\repo (old).configand the new prose handling leaves its escaped separator removed.

Partly fixed in 4ed7b7a: the mobile pattern no longer stops at parentheses, and a test covers C:\folder\(draft.
Not changing the whitespace boundary (Jane Doe, repo (old)), on web or mobile. In plain text the parser cannot tell where a path with spaces ends. Allowing spaces would turn real escapes in normal sentences into backslashes, e.g. see C:\x and \*this\* would render \*this\*. Stopping at whitespace keeps the fix safe for every message, and paths with spaces still render correctly inside backticks.
Not handling backtick filenames (C:\work\`file.txt) either. Accepting a backtick in the path would swallow code-span delimiters next to a path, and such filenames are unrealistic.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Would Approve Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused Markdown rendering bug fix with limited runtime scope, targeted web and mobile tests, and no schema, infrastructure, security, billing, or default-setting changes. Separate Medium-severity correctness findings identify edge cases in code content and paths containing spaces or punctuation, so those issues remain relevant to final merge clearance.

nativeMarkdownText to match parsed paths against authoredByParsed without
stopping at a parenthesis that belongs to a mapped path, so authored paths with
escaped parentheses restore their backslash; add a test covering an escaped
parenthesis in a prose path.

direction after a drive letter, consistent with WINDOWS_DRIVE_PATH_REGEX, so

Problem
Windows paths written in plain message text lose the backslash before punctuation.
C:\Users\me\.t3\userdatarenders asC:\Users\me.t3\userdata, andC:\dev\repo\.scratchasC:\dev\repo.scratch. CommonMark reads\.,\_,\*, and so on as escapes. This affects user and assistant messages on web, desktop, and mobile. Agents on Windows print paths like these all the time. The copied text is correct; only the rendered text is wrong.#12615 fixed the same problem for link and image destinations. Paths in prose were still affected.
Repro, on Windows 11 desktop app, current
main: send a message containingC:\Users\me\.t3\userdatawithout backticks, or have an agent print one. The rendered message showsC:\Users\me.t3\userdata.Change
ChatMarkdown.tsx):remarkKeepWindowsPathDestinationsis renamed toremarkKeepWindowsPathsand gets acharacterEscapeexit handler. When the text before an escape ends in an unfinished drive path (C:followed by no whitespace), the handler puts the backslash back. Escapes outside paths still work (\*this\*renders as*this*), and code spans are unchanged because they never contain escapes.nativeMarkdownWithAuthoredWindowsPaths): the existing source-to-parsed path map also collects drive paths from prose and restores them intextnodes. It keeps the same rule as before: a parsed path that two different source paths could have produced stays as parsed.UNC paths in prose (
\\server\share) are out of scope. Their leading\\is itself an escape, so the parser can't tell them apart from an escaped backslash.Scope and approval
Small, focused fix for an obvious rendering bug. It's a direct follow-up to #12615 and uses the same mechanism on each client, so no prior issue or discussion was needed.
Verification
apps/web: newChatMarkdown Windows pathstest. It fails without the handler and passes with it.ChatMarkdown.test.tsx: 52/52 pass.apps/mobile: new prose case innativeMarkdownText.test.ts: 62/62 pass.tsc --noEmitis clean forapps/webandapps/mobile. Lint has no new warnings.Not checked: no mobile device run. The mobile test uses hand-built md4c nodes, like the existing fix(markdown): keep Windows paths intact in link and image destinations #12615 tests.
