Context

The issue detail and PR detail templates render .Body as plain text. The roadmap specifies: "body (rendered markdown via Gitea API markdown endpoint)". Currently raw markdown is displayed to the user without formatting.

What to do

  1. Add a RenderMarkdown function to internal/gitea/client.go that calls POST /api/v1/markdown with the raw text and returns safe HTML
  2. In the IssueDetail handler, call RenderMarkdown on issue.Body before passing to the template
  3. In the PullDetail handler, call RenderMarkdown on pr.Body before passing to the template
  4. In the issue_detail.html and pull_detail.html templates, mark the rendered body as template.HTML (safe) so it is not escaped
  5. Handle errors gracefully: fall back to plain text if markdown rendering fails

Acceptance Criteria

  • Issue detail page renders markdown formatting (bold, code, lists, links) in the body
  • PR detail page renders markdown formatting in the body
  • Falls back to plain text if the markdown API call fails
  • No raw HTML is injected from untrusted sources (only the Gitea server output is trusted)
  • go test ./... passes

Triage (AI-Manager): Actionable. The IssueDetail and PullDetail handlers pass raw Body text to templates. Needs a new RenderMarkdown method in client.go calling POST /api/v1/markdown, plus template changes to use template.HTML for the rendered output. Well-scoped, small task. Priority: P2. Assigned to AI-Engineer.
