🟡 Medium src/markdown-clipboard.ts:386
A file-link wrapper with a label containing KaTeX is treated as the math wrapper, so rich copy replaces the entire link with a code element containing its Markdown source; selecting ordinary label text also copies the whole link. querySelector(".katex") matches descendants, so restrict this check to the actual math wrapper rather than any ancestor that contains math.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This XL PR introduces substantial user-facing TeX parsing, KaTeX rendering, settings, and clipboard behavior across shared production components, rather than a small isolated option. An unresolved Medium finding also identifies incorrect copying when KaTeX appears inside file-link content, warranting human review. Not approved because:

Catch rejected KaTeX imports and preserve the TeX source.
When math rendering is enabled, ChatMarkdown reaches MarkdownMath for supported formulas. Suspense handles the pending lazy import, but it does not handle a rejected React.lazy import. The rejection occurs before KatexMath can catch katex.renderToString errors or return its fallback, so the formula error propagates instead of showing readable TeX.
Suggested fix
import { lazy, Suspense } from "react";
+import { RenderErrorBoundary } from "../RenderErrorBoundary";
import { useClientSettings } from "../../hooks/useSettings";
import { texMathCopyText } from "../../markdown-math";

- Accept `$$` alone on a line as a display fence, alongside `\[` / `\]`. - Read the math setting once through the renderer context. - Identify formula wrappers by `data-markdown-math` alone. - Drop KaTeX options that restate its defaults; use the catalog for micromark-util-types. - Trim comments and docs.
An unclosed `\[` or `$$` block failed after consuming later lines, which flattened the lists and quotes that followed. Like a fenced code block, it now ends at its closing line or the end of its container, and an unclosed block is shown as source instead of typeset.

Problem
Assistant replies show raw TeX. Fractions, powers, Greek letters and table values are hard to read, which makes T3 Code a poor fit for anyone working with math: researchers, students, engineers, teachers (#9641). Rendering equations would greatly improve it for all of them, and for anyone who meets math in an agent response.

This follows Julius's condition in #1784: opt-in, "if it doesn't add too much complexity", without "tons of remark plugins parsing latex." The delimiter set is fixed and documented; it is the forms models emit as standalone math, excluding single
