- Analysis Summary
- Moves code blocks and plaintext previews to a newer syntax highlighter.
- Why It Matters
- This can make long code blocks and attached files easier to scan, and the test now compares a simpler pair of rendering paths.
- Detailed Description
- The default keeps the existing code presentation, while the enabled comparison loads a newer language-aware syntax highlighter.
- Current Canary consumers read this setting for message code blocks and attached plaintext previews.
- A previous second comparison could prefer a native desktop path, but this update removes that setting and variant, leaving a single on/off comparison.
- The older explanation about choosing a native path no longer describes the current experiment.
