Context

The issue detail and PR detail views render the issue/PR body via RenderMarkdown (Gitea API markdown endpoint), but the comments thread still displays raw plain text in both templates.

ROADMAP Phase 2.2 specifies a "Comments thread" in both Issue Detail and PR Detail views, consistent with the rest of the markdown-first design.

What to do

  1. In the IssueDetail handler (internal/handlers/handlers.go):

    • After fetching comments via GetIssueComments, iterate and call RenderMarkdown for each non-empty Body
    • Add a RenderedBody template.HTML field to the comment struct (or pass a parallel render slice into the template data)
    • Use slog.Warn on render failure and fall back to plain text
  2. Same pattern in the PullDetail handler for PR comments.

  3. Update internal/templates/issue_detail.html and pull_detail.html:

    • Use the same {{if .RenderedBody}}...{{else}}{{.Body}}{{end}} pattern already used for the issue/PR body

Acceptance Criteria

  • Comments in issue detail render markdown (bold, links, code blocks) via Gitea API
  • Comments in PR detail render markdown
  • Fallback to plain text on render error (logged as Warn, no 500)
  • Existing integration tests still pass
  • No XSS risk: rendered HTML uses template.HTML and comes from Gitea API endpoint only

Roadmap Reference

ROADMAP Phase 2.2 — Issue Detail and PR Detail: "Comments thread"

## Context The issue detail and PR detail views render the issue/PR body via `RenderMarkdown` (Gitea API markdown endpoint), but the comments thread still displays raw plain text in both templates. ROADMAP Phase 2.2 specifies a "Comments thread" in both Issue Detail and PR Detail views, consistent with the rest of the markdown-first design. ## What to do 1. In the `IssueDetail` handler (`internal/handlers/handlers.go`): - After fetching comments via `GetIssueComments`, iterate and call `RenderMarkdown` for each non-empty `Body` - Add a `RenderedBody template.HTML` field to the comment struct (or pass a parallel render slice into the template data) - Use `slog.Warn` on render failure and fall back to plain text 2. Same pattern in the `PullDetail` handler for PR comments. 3. Update `internal/templates/issue_detail.html` and `pull_detail.html`: - Use the same `{{if .RenderedBody}}...{{else}}{{.Body}}{{end}}` pattern already used for the issue/PR body ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Comments in issue detail render markdown (bold, links, code blocks) via Gitea API - [ ] Comments in PR detail render markdown - [ ] Fallback to plain text on render error (logged as Warn, no 500) - [ ] Existing integration tests still pass - [ ] No XSS risk: rendered HTML uses `template.HTML` and comes from Gitea API endpoint only ## Roadmap Reference ROADMAP Phase 2.2 — Issue Detail and PR Detail: "Comments thread"
