perf(web): Markdown parses 8-20x faster and pull request comments mount 3x faster - #27866
Chat and pull request Markdown went through micromark, mdast, remark-rehype, rehype-raw (parse5) and rehype-sanitize on every render, and then a React component for nearly every node, including a Base UI tooltip on every link, file chip and code-block button. On real data the pipeline ran at about 1.6 MB/s, and micromark alone was 70% of it.
What changed
Parsing.apps/web/src/markdown/parseMarkdown.ts (blocks, inlines, autolinks, math) builds the mdast remark-parse built, positions included. That covers CommonMark plus GFM, Codex directives, Windows paths and the chat's patched llm-math syntax. Nothing falls back to micromark any more.
Building hast.toHast.ts and chatHast.ts build, in one pass, the sanitized hast that remark-rehype and the chat's rehype plugins built. rawHtml.ts nests the raw HTML review bots write (details, summary, sup, div, a, img, comments) the way parse5 nested it. Tables, misnested formatting, raw-text tags and foreign content still go through rehype-raw.
Rendering.
markdownIslands.ts: subtrees without interactive pieces render as static HTML. React renders only the path to file chips, links, code blocks and the like.
ui/shared-tooltip.tsx: one tooltip per message serves every link, file chip and code-block button. It keeps Base UI's timing, closes on press, and shows on keyboard focus.
MarkdownDetails: closed <details> mount Base UI only on hover or focus.
Smaller fixes. A streamed reply rescans only its open block for file links, and file link resolution is memoized.
VITE_T3_MARKDOWN_PARSER=remark builds the old parser and rehype path, and VITE_T3_MARKDOWN_ISLANDS=0 turns off static HTML, for measuring against.
Numbers
All runs are on cups. Browser numbers come from production builds, with variants run interleaved because this machine's load varies.

The scroll bench slides a 15-comment window down 5 comments per frame, which is how the timeline mounts rows since https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/27795; medians of 5 interleaved rounds. On every bench, Markdown is now a small share of the time. While scrolling, our Markdown code is about 1 ms per frame, against about 5 ms of layout and 4 ms of React and DOM work. A cold thread open spends 146 ms in LegendList against about 35 ms in all Markdown work.
Equivalence
markdownParity.test.ts covers every CommonMark spec example, plus chat, raw-HTML and math cases, compared with remark and rehype.
mdast equals remark-parse's (math on or off) for every document but one. That one, like CommonMark spec example 260, differs only in where a list inside a blockquote ends, which nothing reads.
hast equals the rehype pipeline's on all 6,211 inputs that take the direct path. The exceptions are text-node positions after raw HTML, and the root position of a doctype-only document.
The islands renderer produces the same DOM as rendering every element with React.
Existing ChatMarkdown, timeline, PR panel and thread-find browser tests pass. New tests cover the shared tooltip and the details interaction.
Known differences
Inside the PR detail panel, which sets a 150 ms tooltip delay on its provider, Markdown tooltips use Base UI's default timing.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The new Markdown parser and direct HAST builder become the default for existing content, while static HTML islands remain opt-in. Human review is needed to authorize that default switch; the supplied rendering and fallback findings remain independently blocking.

Walkthrough
The pull request adds a fast Markdown parser, chat-specific HAST conversion, and an optional island-rendering path. It also updates the renderer cache API and adds parser and rendering parity tests.
Changes: Markdown parsing and rendering
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Block and inline parsing apps/web/src/markdown/blocks.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/inlines.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/entities.ts
Adds block and inline parsers that produce Markdown structures with source positions. They support CommonMark syntax and chat-specific constructs.
Document parsing and autolinks apps/web/src/markdown/parseMarkdown.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/autolinks.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/remarkFastParse.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/commonmark-spec.d.ts, apps/web/package.json, apps/web/src/markdown/markdownParity.test.ts
Adds mdast assembly, GFM autolink transformation, and a fast-parser plugin. Parity tests compare the parser with remark across CommonMark and chat Markdown cases.
Chat HAST conversion and sanitization apps/web/src/markdown/toHast.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/rawHtml.ts, apps/web/src/markdown/chatHast.ts, packages/shared/src/markdownPipeline.ts
Adds mdast-to-HAST conversion, limited raw-HTML assembly, and chat-specific metadata and sanitization.
Renderer and React islands apps/web/src/components/chat/markdownRenderer.ts, apps/web/src/components/ChatMarkdown.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/markdownIslands.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/markdownTextDirection.ts, apps/web/src/components/chat/markdownRenderer.test.tsx, apps/web/package.json
Adds cached tree and render methods to the Markdown renderer. When island mode is enabled, selected elements render through React and other elements use static HTML.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is a substantive, technically detailed account of the change. It states the problem (per-render cost of the Markdown pipeline and React element creation), describes the changes by module (parser, HAST builders, islands, shared tooltip, details, streaming rescan), gives measured benchmark numbers with a method, and lists equivalence testing and known differences. It also notes the draft status and the opt-in environment variables. Against the template it is weaker in three places. The 'Problem' section does not state expected behavior or reproduction steps as one clear block. The 'Scope and approval' section is missing: no linked triaged issue or maintainer-approved discussion is given, and no justification is offered for working without one. The 'Verification' section gives results, but the browser UI tests are described only as passing, and the new shared tooltip and details tests are not named. The PR describes a large change (several thousand lines) with several independent parts (parser, HAST, islands, tooltip, details, streaming fix), which the template asks to be split or justified. The template also asks for before/after screenshots for UI changes, and none are included for the tooltip or details changes. The model attribution line is present, as the template requests.
Resolution
Add a 'Scope and approval' section. Link the triaged bug issue or the maintainer-approved discussion, with the approval comment. If no issue exists, explain why this change qualifies as an exemption. Note that a large parser rewrite is a broader change, so an exemption is unlikely to apply. 2. Clarify the 'Problem' section. State the expected behavior and the reproduction steps or environment, for example the benchmark setup and the data used. 3. Justify the single-PR scope or split the independent parts (parser and HAST builder, islands and tooltip, streaming rescan and file-link memoization) into separate PRs. The template asks to split independent fixes. 4. Add before/after screenshots or a short recording for the UI changes, which are the shared tooltip, the closed details mount behavior, and the islands rendering. Upload them to GitHub and embed them. 5. In 'Verification', name the new browser tests for the shared tooltip and details interaction and state their results. Also state what could not be checked, such as the private corpus, which reviewers cannot access.

Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift
A GFM table does not end when another block starts on the next line.
For a table container, continues returns 0 on every non-blank line. incorporateLine then sets matchedLeaf for the table, so it skips tryStart. The table case adds the line as a body row.
GFM ends a table at the first blank line or at the start of another block. GFM example 201 shows this with > bar directly after the last row. This parser turns that line into a table row, not a block quote. Headings, fences, list items and thematic breaks directly after a table have the same risk. The fast parser is the default for chat rendering, so these messages render wrong with no fallback.
Fix:
On a non-blank line, return 1 from continues when the line starts a block that can interrupt a table.
Add a case such as "| a |\n| - |\n| b |\n> quote" to CHAT_MARKDOWN_CASES in markdownParity.test.ts. The parity check against remark will then confirm the full set of interrupting constructs.
