GFM pipe tables in the shared renderer (TODO.md L6): a table-protection
pass in frontend/assets/markdown.js (fences -> tables -> escape order)
pulls each header+separator+body block out as a placeholder, renders
cells escape-first with the same inline transforms, and reinserts a
semantic <table class="md-table"> inside a horizontal-overflow
.md-table-wrap — so a pipe table in a chat answer, the document
viewer/modal, and the thinking block all render the same semantic
table. Fences win over tables; lone pipes stay text.
- styles.css: .md-table palette rules (PLAN §7.2 tokens, no motion);
min-width: max-content so a WIDE table keeps its natural width and
the wrapper is the real scroller (width:100% alone wrapped the wide
table's cells — proven by the new E2E).
- mock_llm.py: TABLE_TRIGGER ("show me a table") -> byte-stable
TABLE_ANSWER (3-column table, <img onerror> XSS probe line, wide
5-column table), checked before DEFLECT_MODE like SUMMARY_MODE.
- tests/fixtures/docs/homelab/tables.md: 3x3 pipe table + pipe-heavy
fenced block (viewer/fence subject); the shared fixture set grows
8 -> 9 docs, so every suite pinning the count (added/formats/
stat-docs/EXPECTED_ROWS) is updated accordingly.
- tests/e2e/test_markdown_tables.py (new, story suite): chat table
shape + non-deflection, wide-table wrapper scroll (no page
overflow), XSS probe inert, viewer modal table, fence-not-a-table,
lone pipe stays text.
- tests/e2e/test_agent_document_tools.py: fix a pre-existing flake —
the "Calling tool…" label window is ~0.4 s at the mock's 0.1 s
tool-frame pacing, and a polling expect could stride over it
(failed 3 of 5 runs on the committed baseline). The pre-submit
MutationObserver record is the deterministic source of truth; the
racy to_have_text gate is gone.
uv run pytest: 738 passed, app/ coverage 99% (TOTAL unchanged);
ruff + pyright clean; story E2E 6/6 in isolation; regression E2E
suites (chat_rag, document_viewer, document_summaries, smoke) green.
#steering-toggle (the header 'Tuning' button) shipped visible in all
six pages and was only removed after /api/whoami resolved, so
anonymous visitors saw it flash for the whole round-trip (TODO.md L3).
It now ships hidden on every page and initSharedHeader unhides it only
for admin — the same ship-hidden / reveal-for-admin contract as the
admin-only nav links; the anonymous end-state (removed from the DOM,
phase-16 'absent, not hidden') is unchanged.
Adds the story E2E suite (MutationObserver proves zero visible frames
for anonymous on every page, admin reveal + panel + count badge,
nav-contract regression) and the source-level unit pins. Also fixes
test_steering.py's BASE_SCRIPT_COUNT (2 → 3: brand.js + markdown.js +
app.js, since phase 39).
