Summary

Markdown task lists (checklists) are rendered as bullet points in the agent conversation panel

Description

Steps to trigger the problem:

  1. Start a conversation with the agent in Zed.
  2. Ask the model to output a Markdown task list (e.g., - [ ] Task 1).
  3. Observe the rendering: the checklist is displayed as a regular bullet list, without checkboxes.

Expected Behavior:
Markdown task lists (e.g., - [ ] Task 1, - [x] Task 2) should be rendered as interactive checkboxes, as per standard Markdown support.

Actual Behavior:
Task lists are rendered as plain bullet points, losing the checkbox functionality and visual distinction between completed and incomplete tasks.
