+**Scan pattern:** Look for `if (condition) { ... } return` — the `if` block likely wraps happy-path code and should be inverted into a guard clause.

+# Early Return / Guard Clauses
+
+**Invert conditions, return/continue early, keep happy path at lowest indentation. Applies everywhere: methods, lambdas, loops.**

+## ✅ Do / ❌ Don't
+
+```csharp
+// ✅ Guard clause
+if (view is null) { return; }
+DoWork (view);
+
+// ❌ Wrapped happy path
+if (view is not null) { DoWork (view); }
+```
+
+```csharp
+// ✅ Sequential guards in lambda
+button.Accepting += (_, args) =>
+ {
+ if (_target is null) { return; }
+ if (args.Cancel) { return; }
+ _target.DoWork ();
+ };
+
+// ❌ Compound condition wrapping lambda body
+button.Accepting += (_, args) =>
+ {
+ if (_target is not null && !args.Cancel)
+ {
+ _target.DoWork ();
+ }
+ };
+```
+
+```csharp
+// ✅ Continue in loops
+foreach (View subView in SubViews)
+{
+ if (!subView.Visible) { continue; }
+ subView.Draw ();
+}
+
+// ❌ Loop body inside conditional
+foreach (View subView in SubViews)
+{
+ if (subView.Visible) { subView.Draw (); }
+}
+```
+
+```csharp
+// ✅ Guard early before tail work
+int total = widths.Sum ();
+if (total <= available) { return widths; }
+int excess = total - available;
+ReduceEvenly (widths, minWidths, excess);
+return widths;
+
+// ❌ Tail work wrapped in conditional
+int total = widths.Sum ();
+if (total > available)
+{
+ int excess = total - available;
+ ReduceEvenly (widths, minWidths, excess);
+}
+return widths;
+```
+
+## Key Principle
+
+When adding a null check or validation, **add a guard at the top** — don't indent existing code into a new `if` block. Compound conditions are fine in guard clauses (`if (x <= 0 || y <= 0) { return; }`) but never for wrapping the happy path.

+# mdv - A Terminal.Gui-based Markdown viewer
+
+Opens an interative TUI markdown viewer with rendered Markdown with auto scrollbars (vertical + horizontal), a **StatusBar** with Quit, Content Width control, line count, file size, status, and spinner, and a **File selector** dropdown when viewing multiple files.
+
+When run with the `--print` option, it renders the markdown to the terminal and exits, without launching the interactive viewer.
+
+Wildcards are supported: `mdv *.md`, `mdv docs/*.md`.
+
+## Supported Markdown Features
+
+- Headings (`#`, `##`, etc.)
+- Paragraphs and line breaks
+- Emphasis (`*italic*`, `**bold**`, `~~strikethrough~~`)
+- Links (`[text](url)`)
+- Images (``)
+- Code blocks (fenced with ```` ``` ````)
+- Inline code (`` `code` ``)
+- Blockquotes (`> quote`)
+- Lists (ordered and unordered)
+- Tables
+- Horizontal rules (`---`)
+- Syntax highlighting for code blocks (using ColorCode with various themes)
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+mdv [file2.md ...] # Full-screen interactive mode (default)
+mdv --print [file2.md ...] # Print mode: renders to terminal and exits
+mdv -t [file2.md ...] # Specify syntax-highlighting theme
+mdv --help # Show this help message (Renders this README as formatted markdown)
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# View a single file in full-screen mode (default)
+mdv README.md
+```
+
+```bash
+# Print rendered markdown to terminal and exit
+mdv --print README.md
+```
+
+```bash
+# View multiple files with a file selector dropdown
+mdv *.md
+```
+
+```bash
+# Print with a specific theme
+mdv -p -t Monokai README.md
+```
+
+## Supported Themes (use -t or --theme)
+
+`AtomOneDark`, `AtomOneLight`, `Dark`, `DarkPlus` (Default), `DimmedMonokai`, `Dracula`, `HighContrastDark`, `HighContrastLight`, `KimbieDark`, `Light`, `LightPlus`, `Monokai`, `OneDark`, `QuietLight`, `Red`, `SolarizedDark`, `SolarizedLight`, `TomorrowNightBlue`, `VisualStudioDark`, `VisualStudioLight`, `SolarizedLight`, `TomorrowNightBlue`, `VisualStudioDark`, `VisualStudioLight`

+# Plan: Refactor Markdown Lowering to Use Markdig AST
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The `Markdown` view exposes a public `MarkdownPipeline` property that implies users can customize parsing behavior via Markdig's pipeline extensions. In reality, the parsed AST is immediately discarded:
+
+```csharp
+// MarkdownView.Parsing.cs:24-29
+MarkdownPipeline pipeline = MarkdownPipeline ?? _defaultPipeline;
+_ = Markdig.Markdown.Parse (_markdown, pipeline); // AST discarded
+LowerFromSourceText (); // regex from raw text
+```
+
+`LowerFromSourceText()` re-parses the raw markdown string using hand-written regexes. This means:
+
+1. **`MarkdownPipeline` is dead API** - custom pipelines have zero effect on rendering.
+2. **CommonMark divergence** - the regex lowerer doesn't handle many valid Markdown constructs (nested emphasis, escaped chars, lazy continuation, setext headings, indented code blocks, link reference definitions, etc.).
+3. **Duplicated work** - Markdig already produces a complete, correct AST; the regex parser is a second, less-correct parser.
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace `LowerFromSourceText()` with `LowerFromAst(MarkdownDocument doc)` that walks Markdig's parsed AST and produces the same `List` output. This makes the `MarkdownPipeline` property meaningful and gets rendering closer to spec-compliant CommonMark/GFM.
+
+---
+

+### Key Data Structures
+
+- **`IntermediateBlock`** - parsing output: `(InlineRun[] runs, bool wrap, string prefix, string continuationPrefix, bool isCodeBlock, string? anchor, bool isThematicBreak, TableData? tableData)`
+- **`InlineRun`** - inline span: `(string text, MarkdownStyleRole role, string? url, string? imageSource, Attribute? attribute)`
+- **`RenderedLine`** - layout output: `(StyledSegment[] segments, bool wrapEligible, int width, bool isCodeBlock, bool isThematicBreak, bool isTable)`
+
+### What the regex parser handles today
+
+| Markdown construct | Regex pattern | IntermediateBlock output |
+|---|---|---|
+| Headings `# ...` | `^(#{1,6})\s+(.+)$` | `runs` with HeadingMarker + Heading inlines, `anchor` slug |
+| Unordered lists `- ...` | `^\s*[-*+]\s+(.*)$` | `prefix="* "`, inlines parsed |
+| Ordered lists `1. ...` | `^\s*\d+\.\s+(.*)$` | `prefix="1. "`, inlines parsed |
+| Task lists `- [x] ...` | `^\[(?[ xX])\]\s+(.*)$` | TaskDone/TaskTodo role |
+| Fenced code blocks | `` ``` `` fence detection | `isCodeBlock=true`, syntax-highlighted runs |
+| Block quotes `> ...` | `line.TrimStart().StartsWith('>')` | `prefix="> "` |
+| Thematic breaks | `---`, `***`, `___` (3+ chars) | `isThematicBreak=true` |
+| Tables `\| ... \|` | Pipe-delimited line accumulation | `tableData` from `TableData.TryParse()` |
+| Paragraphs | Everything else | `wrap=true`, inlines parsed |
+| Inline: bold, italic, code, links, images | `MarkdownInlineParser` (character-scan) | InlineRun with appropriate role |

+### Principle: Change only the lowering; keep everything downstream
+
+The `IntermediateBlock` / `RenderedLine` / SubView pipeline is well-designed and working. The refactor replaces **only** the code that produces `List` from the source. Everything from `BuildRenderedLines()` onward stays the same.
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy Overview
+
+Tests are organized in three categories that run at specific points in the plan:
+
+1. **Pre-work coverage tests** — Fill gaps in existing test coverage *before* any refactoring. These establish a behavioral baseline: if the refactor breaks something, these tests catch it.
+
+2. **Pre-work should-fail tests** — Tests that document known limitations of the regex parser. They are written to *expect correct behavior*, run to confirm they fail, then attributed with `[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]`. They become the acceptance criteria for the refactor.
+
+3. **New impl tests** — Unit tests written alongside each implementation phase, testing the new/modified functions directly.
+
+All tests go in `Tests/UnitTestsParallelizable/Views/Markdown/`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Pre-Work Testing (Baseline Coverage)
+
+### Phase 0a: Coverage Tests for Existing Behavior
+
+These tests document what the current regex parser *does* handle correctly. They must all pass before any refactoring begins.
+
+**Blockquote coverage** (currently only 1 test: `Style_Quote_Marker_Bold_Text_Faint`):
+
+```
+BlockQuote_Single_Line_Renders_With_Prefix
+ Input: "> Hello world"
+ Assert: rendered line has prefix "> " with Quote role, "Hello world" with Quote role
+
+BlockQuote_With_Bold_Inline
+ Input: "> This is **important**"
+ Assert: prefix "> ", "This is " Quote role, "important" Strong role
+
+BlockQuote_With_Link
+ Input: "> See [docs](https://example.com)"
+ Assert: prefix "> ", "See " Quote role, "docs" Link role with URL
+
+BlockQuote_Multiple_Consecutive_Lines
+ Input: "> Line one\n> Line two"
+ Assert: 2 rendered blocks, each with "> " prefix
+
+BlockQuote_Empty_Quote_Line
+ Input: ">\n> After blank"
+ Assert: first block is empty with prefix, second has content
+
+BlockQuote_WordWrap_Respects_Prefix
+ Input: "> This is a long line that should wrap at the viewport boundary"
+ Viewport: 30 columns
+ Assert: continuation lines have "> " prefix (continuationPrefix)
+```
+
+**List coverage gaps:**
+
+```
+OrderedList_Multiple_Items
+ Input: "1. First\n2. Second\n3. Third"
+ Assert: 3 blocks with appropriate prefixes
+
+UnorderedList_Nested_Not_Supported_Renders_Flat
+ Input: "- Parent\n - Child"
+ Assert: both render (current behavior, even if nesting is lost)
+
+TaskList_Mixed_States
+ Input: "- [x] Done\n- [ ] Todo\n- [X] Also done"
+ Assert: correct TaskDone/TaskTodo roles for each
+```
+
+**Code block coverage gaps:**
+
+```
+CodeBlock_Empty_Fence
+ Input: "```\n```"
+ Assert: empty code block is created
+
+CodeBlock_With_Language_And_Highlighting
+ Input: "```csharp\nvar x = 1;\n```"
+ Assert: code block has language "csharp", lines are present
+
+CodeBlock_Multiple_Blocks_Create_Separate_SubViews
+ Input: "```\nA\n```\n\nText\n\n```\nB\n```"
+ Assert: 2 MarkdownCodeBlock SubViews
+```
+
+**Heading coverage gaps:**
+
+```
+Heading_All_Levels_1_Through_6
+ Input: "# H1\n## H2\n### H3\n#### H4\n##### H5\n###### H6"
+ Assert: 6 heading blocks with correct anchor slugs
+
+Heading_With_Inline_Formatting
+ Input: "# Title with **bold** and *italic*"
+ Assert: heading block contains Strong and Emphasis runs
+```
+
+**Thematic break coverage:**
+
+```
+ThematicBreak_Dashes_Creates_Line_SubView
+ Input: "---"
+ Assert: Line SubView created
+
+ThematicBreak_Stars_Creates_Line_SubView
+ Input: "***"
+ Assert: Line SubView created
+
+ThematicBreak_Underscores_Creates_Line_SubView
+ Input: "___"
+ Assert: Line SubView created
+```
+
+### Phase 0b: Should-Fail Tests (Proving the Regex Parser is Broken)
+
+These tests document constructs that *should* work per CommonMark but don't with the regex parser. Write them, run them, confirm failure, then add `Skip`.
+
+**Escaped characters:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Escaped_Asterisks_Not_Treated_As_Emphasis
+ Input: "This is \\*not bold\\*"
+ Assert: entire line renders as Normal role, no Emphasis
+ Current: regex parser treats \* as emphasis delimiter
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Escaped_Backtick_Not_Treated_As_Code
+ Input: "Use \\`backticks\\` literally"
+ Assert: renders as plain text
+```
+
+**Nested emphasis:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Triple_Asterisks_Bold_Italic
+ Input: "This is ***bold italic***"
+ Assert: content has both Strong and Emphasis roles applied
+ Current: regex parser can't nest emphasis
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Bold_Inside_Italic
+ Input: "*italic and **bold** inside*"
+ Assert: outer text is Emphasis, inner "bold" is Strong
+```
+
+**Setext headings:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Setext_Heading_Level_1
+ Input: "Title\n====="
+ Assert: renders as Heading block with anchor slug
+ Current: regex parser only handles ATX headings (# prefix)
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Setext_Heading_Level_2
+ Input: "Subtitle\n--------"
+ Assert: renders as Heading block
+ Current: "--------" is treated as a thematic break
+```
+
+**Indented code blocks:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Indented_Code_Block
+ Input: "Paragraph\n\n code line 1\n code line 2\n\nAfter"
+ Assert: middle lines render as code block
+ Current: regex parser only detects fenced (```) code blocks
+```
+
+**Custom pipeline effects:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Custom_Pipeline_Without_Tables_Renders_Pipes_As_Text
+ Input: "| A | B |\n|---|---|\n| 1 | 2 |"
+ Pipeline: new MarkdownPipelineBuilder().Build() (no table extension)
+ Assert: pipes render as plain paragraph text, NOT as a table SubView
+ Current: pipeline property has no effect
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Custom_Pipeline_With_Footnotes_Produces_Footnote_Content
+ Input: "Text[^1]\n\n[^1]: Footnote content"
+ Pipeline: new MarkdownPipelineBuilder().UseFootnotes().Build()
+ Assert: footnote reference and content both render (even as plain text)
+```
+
+**Nested blockquotes:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Nested_BlockQuote_Has_Double_Prefix
+ Input: "> > Nested quote"
+ Assert: rendered with prefix "> > " (double-nested)
+ Current: regex parser strips first > only, second > appears as text
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+BlockQuote_Containing_List
+ Input: "> - Item one\n> - Item two"
+ Assert: rendered with prefix "> * " or similar compound prefix
+ Current: regex parser treats entire line as quote text (list markers not parsed inside quotes)
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+BlockQuote_Containing_Code_Block
+ Input: "> ```\n> code\n> ```"
+ Assert: code renders within quote context
+ Current: fence detection doesn't account for > prefix
+```
+
+**HTML entities:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Html_Entity_Renders_As_Character
+ Input: "Copyright © 2024"
+ Assert: renders as "Copyright (c) 2024" or the actual symbol
+ Current: regex parser renders literal "©"
+```
+
+**Strikethrough:**
+
+The `DefaultMarkdownSample` advertises `~~strikethrough~~` but `MarkdownInlineParser` has no
+`~~` delimiter handling and `MarkdownStyleRole` has no `Strikethrough` value. The text renders
+with literal tildes. Markdig's `UseAdvancedExtensions()` already includes the strikethrough
+extension — the AST inline walker gets this for free via `EmphasisInline` with
+`DelimiterChar == '~'` and `DelimiterCount == 2`. A new `MarkdownStyleRole.Strikethrough`
+value and a corresponding `MarkdownAttributeHelper` case (applying `TextStyle.Strikethrough`)
+are needed.
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Strikethrough_Renders_With_Strikethrough_Style
+ Input: "This is ~~struck~~ text"
+ Assert: "struck" has Strikethrough role with Strikethrough text style
+ Current: renders as literal "~~struck~~" with Normal role
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Strikethrough_With_Other_Inline_Formatting
+ Input: "**bold** and ~~struck~~ and *italic*"
+ Assert: "bold" Strong, "struck" Strikethrough, "italic" Emphasis
+ Current: tildes rendered literally
+
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Strikethrough_In_DefaultMarkdownSample_Renders_Correctly
+ Input: Markdown.DefaultMarkdownSample
+ Assert: the word "strikethrough" in the sample has Strikethrough text style
+ Current: renders as "~~strikethrough~~" with tildes visible
+```
+
+**Autolinks:**
+
+```
+[Fact (Skip = "Requires AST-based lowering")]
+Autolink_Renders_As_Link
+ Input: ""
+ Assert: renders as Link role with URL
+ Current: regex parser treats < > as plain text
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: AST Block Walker
+
+Replace `LowerFromSourceText()` with a method that walks `MarkdownDocument` top-level blocks:
+
+```
+MarkdownDocument
+ +-- HeadingBlock --> IntermediateBlock(Heading inlines, anchor)
+ +-- ParagraphBlock --> IntermediateBlock(wrap=true, parsed inlines)
+ +-- FencedCodeBlock --> IntermediateBlock(isCodeBlock=true) per line
+ +-- CodeBlock --> IntermediateBlock(isCodeBlock=true) per line (NEW)
+ +-- QuoteBlock --> IntermediateBlock(prefix="> ") recurse children
+ +-- ListBlock
+ | +-- ListItemBlock --> IntermediateBlock(prefix="* " or "1. ")
+ | +-- TaskList --> TaskDone/TaskTodo roles
+ +-- ThematicBreakBlock --> IntermediateBlock(isThematicBreak=true)
+ +-- Table (ext) --> IntermediateBlock(tableData=...)
+ +-- HtmlBlock --> (v1: render as plain text paragraph)
+ +-- LinkReferenceDefinition --> (consumed by inline resolution, not rendered)
+```
+
+#### Markdig AST types to handle (Markdig 0.39.0)
+
+**Block-level** (`Markdig.Syntax` namespace):
+- `HeadingBlock` - `.Level`, `.Inline` (contains inline elements)
+- `ParagraphBlock` - `.Inline`
+- `FencedCodeBlock` - `.Info` (language), `.Lines` (StringLineGroup)
+- `CodeBlock` - indented code blocks (no fence)
+- `QuoteBlock` - contains sub-blocks
+- `ListBlock` - `.IsOrdered`, contains `ListItemBlock`s
+- `ListItemBlock` - contains sub-blocks (paragraphs, nested lists)
+- `ThematicBreakBlock` - no content
+- `HtmlBlock` - raw HTML (render as plain text in terminal)
+- `LinkReferenceDefinitionGroup` - consumed during inline parsing
+
+**Block-level extensions** (`Markdig.Extensions.Tables` etc.):
+- `Table` - `.ColumnDefinitions`, contains `TableRow`s
+- `TableRow` - `.IsHeader`, contains `TableCell`s
+- `TableCell` - contains inline content
+
+### Phase 1 Tests
+
+```
+LowerFromAst_HeadingBlock_Creates_Heading_IntermediateBlock

+
+LowerFromAst_HtmlBlock_Renders_As_PlainText
+ Parse "hello " (preceded by blank line so Markdig treats as HtmlBlock)
+ Assert: renders as plain text paragraph, not swallowed
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: AST Inline Walker
+
+Replace `MarkdownInlineParser.ParseInlines()` usage in the main pipeline. Markdig already parsed inline formatting into a linked list of `Inline` objects.
+
+**Pre-requisite:** Add `Strikethrough` to `MarkdownStyleRole` enum and add a case in
+`MarkdownAttributeHelper` that applies `TextStyle.Strikethrough`. This is needed for the
+inline walker to map `EmphasisInline` with `DelimiterChar == '~'` correctly.
+
+**Inline-level** (`Markdig.Syntax.Inlines` namespace):
+- `LiteralInline` - plain text (`.Content` is `StringSlice`)
+- `EmphasisInline` - `*` or `**` (`.DelimiterCount` distinguishes); also `~~` strikethrough (`DelimiterChar == '~'`, `DelimiterCount == 2`)
+- `CodeInline` - backtick code (`.Content`)
+- `LinkInline` - `[text](url)` (`.Url`, `.IsImage`, contains child inlines)
+- `AutolinkInline` - ``
+- `LineBreakInline` - hard/soft line breaks
+- `HtmlInline` - inline HTML (rare in terminal context)
+- `HtmlEntityInline` - `&` etc.
+
+```csharp
+// Conceptual: walk Markdig's inline linked list
+List WalkInlines (Inline? inline, MarkdownStyleRole defaultRole)
+{
+ List runs = [];
+ while (inline != null)
+ {
+ switch (inline)
+ {
+ case LiteralInline lit:
+ runs.Add (new InlineRun (lit.Content.ToString (), defaultRole));
+ break;
+ case EmphasisInline em:
+ MarkdownStyleRole role = em.DelimiterChar == '~'
+ ? MarkdownStyleRole.Strikethrough
+ : em.DelimiterCount >= 2
+ ? MarkdownStyleRole.Strong
+ : MarkdownStyleRole.Emphasis;
+ runs.AddRange (WalkInlines (em.FirstChild, role));
+ break;
+ case CodeInline code:
+ runs.Add (new InlineRun (code.Content, MarkdownStyleRole.InlineCode));
+ break;
+ case LinkInline link:

+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Table Handling (Dragon #1)
+
+**Current approach:** `TableData.TryParse()` re-parses pipe-delimited lines from raw source text and returns a `TableData(headers, alignments, rows)` where headers/rows are `string[][]`.
+
+**The dragon:** Markdig's `Table` extension produces `Table > TableRow > TableCell` AST nodes where each `TableCell` contains inline elements (already parsed). But `TableData` stores raw strings (which `MarkdownTable` then re-parses with `MarkdownInlineParser.ParseInlines()`). This creates a mismatch:
+
+- **Option A (minimal change):** Extract cell text from AST `TableCell.Inline` as a flat string, feed it into the existing `TableData(string[] headers, ...)` constructor. `MarkdownTable` continues to call `MarkdownInlineParser.ParseInlines()` on cell text during its `Data` setter. This duplicates inline parsing but keeps `MarkdownTable` and `TableData` unchanged.
+
+- **Option B (cleaner):** Change `TableData` to carry `List[]` per cell instead of `string[]`. Then `MarkdownTable` would skip re-parsing inlines. But this requires modifying `MarkdownTable.Data` setter, `ParseCellSegments()`, and test code.
+
+**Recommendation:** Start with Option A. It's a v1 refactor and we want to change one thing at a time. The double-parse is cheap and keeps the blast radius small. Option B can follow.
+
+**Additional concern:** Markdig's `Table` extension must be enabled in the pipeline for table AST nodes to appear. The current default pipeline uses `UseAdvancedExtensions()` which includes tables, but a user-supplied custom pipeline might not. Need to handle the case where table syntax appears in source but the pipeline doesn't include the table extension (Markdig won't produce `Table` nodes; the pipe-delimited lines will appear inside `ParagraphBlock`s as literal text). This is actually *correct* behavior — if the user's pipeline doesn't enable tables, tables shouldn't render as tables.
+
+### Phase 3 Tests
+
+```
+LowerFromAst_Table_Creates_TableData_IntermediateBlock
+ Parse "| A | B |\n|---|---|\n| 1 | 2 |"
+ Assert: IntermediateBlock with IsTable=true, TableData has 2 columns, 1 row
+
+LowerFromAst_Table_Preserves_Alignment
+ Parse "| Left | Center | Right |\n|:---|:---:|---:|\n| a | b | c |"
+ Assert: TableData.Alignments = [Start, Center, End]
+
+LowerFromAst_Table_Cell_With_Inline_Formatting
+ Parse "| **bold** | *italic* |\n|---|---|\n| `code` | [link](url) |"
+ Assert: TableData cell strings contain the raw markdown for re-parsing
+ (Option A: strings like "**bold**"; Option B: InlineRun lists)
+
+LowerFromAst_Table_Multiple_Rows
+ Parse table with 3 body rows
+ Assert: TableData.Rows.Length == 3
+
+LowerFromAst_Pipeline_Without_Tables_Renders_As_Text
+ Pipeline: no table extension
+ Input: "| A | B |\n|---|---|\n| 1 | 2 |"
+ Assert: renders as plain paragraphs, NOT as table SubView
+ (This is the KEY test proving MarkdownPipeline works)
+
+MarkdownTable_Standalone_Text_Still_Works_After_Refactor
+ MarkdownTable.Text = "| a | b |\n|---|---|\n| 1 | 2 |"
+ Assert: table renders correctly (standalone path unchanged)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Code Block Handling (Dragon #2)
+
+**Current approach:** `LowerFromSourceText()` detects `` ``` `` fences, accumulates lines, and calls `AddCodeBlockLines()` which:
+1. Optionally runs `SyntaxHighlighter.Highlight()` per line
+2. Creates one `IntermediateBlock(isCodeBlock=true)` per line
+3. Later, `SyncCodeBlockViews()` groups contiguous code lines into `MarkdownCodeBlock` SubViews
+
+**Markdig AST:** `FencedCodeBlock` has `.Info` (language string) and `.Lines` (a `StringLineGroup` — essentially `StringSlice[]`). There's also `CodeBlock` for indented code (no fence, no language).
+
+**The dragon is mild here.** The mapping is straightforward:
+- `FencedCodeBlock.Info` -> language for syntax highlighting
+- `FencedCodeBlock.Lines[i]` -> each line becomes `IntermediateBlock(isCodeBlock=true)`
+- Syntax highlighting still runs the same way on extracted line text
+- `SyncCodeBlockViews()` downstream is unchanged
+
+**Indented code blocks** (`CodeBlock` without fence) are a *new* feature gain — the regex parser can't detect them (it only looks for `` ``` ``). The AST walker handles them for free.
+
+### Phase 4 Tests
+
+```
+LowerFromAst_FencedCodeBlock_Extracts_Language
+ Parse "```python\nprint('hi')\n```"
+ Assert: syntax highlighting called with language "python"
+
+LowerFromAst_FencedCodeBlock_Lines_Become_Separate_Blocks
+ Parse "```\nline1\nline2\nline3\n```"
+ Assert: 3 IntermediateBlocks with isCodeBlock=true
+
+LowerFromAst_FencedCodeBlock_With_SyntaxHighlighter
+ Set SyntaxHighlighter, parse code block
+ Assert: InlineRuns have Attribute from highlighter (same as current behavior)
+
+LowerFromAst_IndentedCodeBlock_Treated_As_CodeBlock
+ Parse " code line" (4 spaces)
+ Assert: IntermediateBlock with isCodeBlock=true (NEW capability)
+
+LowerFromAst_FencedCodeBlock_Empty_Creates_Empty_Block
+ Parse "```\n```"
+ Assert: empty code block IntermediateBlock
+
+LowerFromAst_CodeBlock_Between_Paragraphs_Creates_Separate_SubView
+ Parse "Before\n\n```\ncode\n```\n\nAfter"
+ Assert: paragraph, code block, paragraph — 3 distinct sections
+
+MarkdownCodeBlock_Standalone_Text_Still_Works
+ MarkdownCodeBlock.Text = "```csharp\nvar x = 1;\n```"
+ Assert: standalone path unchanged
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Nested Blocks (Dragon #3 — the real dragon)
+
+**Current approach:** `LowerFromSourceText()` is a flat, line-by-line loop. There is no concept of nesting. A block quote line `> some text` is a single `IntermediateBlock` with `prefix="> "`. A list item `- some text` is a single `IntermediateBlock` with `prefix="* "`.
+
+**Markdig AST:** Blocks nest. A `QuoteBlock` contains sub-blocks (paragraphs, lists, code blocks, even more quote blocks). A `ListItemBlock` contains sub-blocks. This means:
+
+```markdown
+> - item one
+> ```python
+> code here
+> ```
+> - item two
+```
+
+Produces: `QuoteBlock > ListBlock > ListItemBlock > [ParagraphBlock, FencedCodeBlock]`
+
+**The current `IntermediateBlock` model cannot express this.** Each `IntermediateBlock` is flat — it has a prefix and runs, but no children. The layout pipeline (`BuildRenderedLines`, `WrapBlock`) also assumes flat blocks.
+
+**This is why the original author likely backed away from AST-based lowering.** The gap between Markdig's recursive tree and the flat `IntermediateBlock` list is significant for nested constructs.
+
+#### Pragmatic approach for v1
+
+**Flatten during lowering.** Walk the AST recursively but produce flat `IntermediateBlock`s, accumulating prefixes:
+
+```
+QuoteBlock
+ ListBlock (unordered)
+ ListItemBlock
+ ParagraphBlock "item one"
+```
+
+Becomes: `IntermediateBlock(runs=["item one"], prefix="> * ", continuationPrefix="> ")`
+
+This matches what the current regex parser produces for simple cases and extends naturally to deeper nesting. The key insight is that `prefix` and `continuationPrefix` are already string accumulators — we just need to build them recursively:
+
+```csharp
+void WalkBlock (Block block, string prefix, string contPrefix)
+{
+ switch (block)
+ {
+ case QuoteBlock quote:
+ foreach (Block child in quote)
+ WalkBlock (child, prefix + "> ", contPrefix + "> ");
+ break;
+ case ListBlock list:
+ foreach (ListItemBlock item in list)
+ {
+ string marker = list.IsOrdered ? $"{item.Order}. " : "* ";
+ WalkBlock (item.FirstOrDefault (), prefix + marker,
+ contPrefix + new string (' ', marker.Length));
+ foreach (Block sub in item.Skip (1))
+ WalkBlock (sub, contPrefix + new string (' ', marker.Length),
+ contPrefix + new string (' ', marker.Length));
+ }
+ break;
+ case ParagraphBlock para:
+ List runs = WalkInlines (para.Inline);
+ _blocks.Add (new IntermediateBlock (runs, wrap: true, prefix, contPrefix));
+ break;
+ // ... etc
+ }
+}
+```
+
+**Limitation:** Nested code blocks inside quotes/lists will lose their SubView positioning because the prefix system doesn't account for SubView indentation. For v1, this is acceptable — nested code blocks would render as indented text without the code block background. This matches what many terminal markdown renderers do.
+
+### Phase 5 Tests
+
+```
+LowerFromAst_NestedQuote_Has_Double_Prefix
+ Input: "> > Nested"
+ Assert: prefix="> > ", continuation="> > "
+
+LowerFromAst_QuoteBlock_With_List
+ Input: "> - Item one\n> - Item two"
+ Assert: two blocks with prefix="> * " (or "> • ")
+
+LowerFromAst_QuoteBlock_With_Multiple_Paragraphs
+ Input: "> Para 1\n>\n> Para 2"
+ Assert: two paragraph blocks + blank block, all with "> " prefix
+
+LowerFromAst_ListItem_With_Multiple_Paragraphs
+ Input: "- First para\n\n Second para in same item"
+ Assert: first block prefix="* ", second block prefix=" " (continuation)
+
+LowerFromAst_Nested_List_In_List
+ Input: "- Parent\n - Child"
+ Assert: parent has prefix="* ", child has prefix=" * " or similar
+
+LowerFromAst_QuoteBlock_Containing_CodeBlock
+ Input: "> ```\n> code\n> ```"
+ Assert: code blocks render with "> " context
+ (v1: may render as indented text rather than code SubView — document limitation)
+
+LowerFromAst_Deeply_Nested_Does_Not_Crash
+ Input: "> > > > Deep nesting"
+ Assert: prefix="> > > > ", no stack overflow
+
+LowerFromAst_OrderedList_Preserves_Numbers
+ Input: "1. First\n2. Second\n3. Third"
+ Assert: correct numbering in prefix (may differ from regex which hardcodes "1. ")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Wiring and Cleanup
+
+1. **Wire `EnsureParsed()`** to call `LowerFromAst(doc)` instead of `LowerFromSourceText()`
+2. **Delete `LowerFromSourceText()`** and its regex fields (`_headingPattern`, `_unorderedListPattern`, etc.)
+3. **Keep `MarkdownInlineParser`** — still needed for `MarkdownTable` and `MarkdownCodeBlock` standalone paths
+4. **Remove the `_ = Markdig.Markdown.Parse(...)` discard** — actually use the return value
+5. **Update XML docs** on `MarkdownPipeline` to describe what pipeline options actually affect rendering
+6. **Handle unknown AST node types** with fallback rendering (plain text paragraph)
+
+### Phase 6 Tests
+
+```
+EnsureParsed_Uses_Ast_Not_Regex
+ Set MarkdownPipeline to custom pipeline without tables
+ Input with tables: should render as text, not table SubView
+ Assert: proves AST path is active (regex path would still make tables)
+
+Pipeline_Property_Change_Invalidates_And_Reparses
+ Set text with table, verify table SubView exists
+ Change pipeline to one without tables
+ Assert: table SubView removed, renders as text
+
+Remove_Skip_From_All_ShouldFail_Tests
+ Remove [Skip] from all Phase 0b tests
+ Assert: they ALL pass now
+
+MarkdownInlineParser_Still_Works_For_Standalone_Use
+ Call MarkdownInlineParser.ParseInlines ("**bold**", MarkdownStyleRole.Normal)
+ Assert: returns Strong run (utility is still functional)
+
+DefaultMarkdownSample_Renders_Without_Exceptions
+ Set Text = Markdown.DefaultMarkdownSample
+ Force layout
+ Assert: no exceptions, content size > 0
+
+Unknown_AstNode_Renders_As_PlainText
+ Use pipeline extension that produces custom block type
+ Assert: renders as plain paragraph (not swallowed)
+```

+
+## Challenges and Risk Analysis
+
+### High Risk
+
+**1. Nested block flattening fidelity**
+- The current renderer has never dealt with nested structures. Flattening `QuoteBlock > ListBlock > ...` into prefix strings may produce unexpected visual results for deeply nested content.
+- **Mitigation:** Test with real-world Markdown files (README.md files from popular repos). Accept "good enough" flattening for v1; deeply nested exotic constructs can be addressed incrementally.
+
+**2. Inline parsing behavioral differences**
+- Markdig's inline parser handles edge cases the regex parser doesn't: escaped characters (`\*not bold\*`), nested emphasis (`***bold italic***`), autolinks (``), HTML entities (`&`).
+- These are **improvements** but they change behavior. Any tests asserting on the regex parser's quirky behavior will need updating.
+- **Mitigation:** Audit all existing tests before starting. Document any intentional behavioral changes.
+
+**3. `MarkdownTable` standalone path**
+- `MarkdownTable` has a `Text` property setter that parses pipe-delimited text directly via `TableData.TryParse()`. This standalone path doesn't go through the `Markdown` view's pipeline at all.
+- `MarkdownTable` also calls `MarkdownInlineParser.ParseInlines()` internally in `ParseCellSegments()`.
+- **This means `MarkdownInlineParser` cannot be deleted** — it's still needed for standalone `MarkdownTable` usage and for `MarkdownCodeBlock.Text` path.
+- **Mitigation:** Keep `MarkdownInlineParser` but stop using it in the `Markdown` view's main pipeline. Document it as a utility for standalone SubView usage.
+
+### Medium Risk
+
+**4. Pipeline extension coverage**
+- Users may supply pipelines with extensions that produce AST nodes the walker doesn't know about (e.g., `FootnoteBlock`, `AbbreviationBlock`, `DefinitionList`, `MathBlock`, custom extensions).
+- **Mitigation:** Add a default/fallback case in the AST walker that extracts raw text from unknown block types and renders as a plain paragraph. Log or raise a diagnostic event for unhandled types.
+
+**5. Source position mapping loss**
+- The regex parser operates on raw source lines, so error positions map trivially. The AST walker operates on AST nodes whose `.Span` property gives source positions, but the mapping is less direct.
+- **Mitigation:** This is only relevant for debugging. Not a user-facing concern.
+
+**6. Performance**
+- The regex parser does one pass over lines. The AST walker allocates Markdig's full AST graph, then walks it. For very large Markdown documents this could be slower.
+- **Mitigation:** Profile before/after. Markdig is well-optimized; the overhead is likely negligible compared to layout and drawing.
+
+### Low Risk
+
+**7. Setext headings, indented code, link reference definitions**
+- These are valid CommonMark constructs the regex parser can't handle. The AST walker gets them for free.
+- They are **new features**, not regressions. But they should be tested.
+
+**8. Hard line breaks**
+- CommonMark supports hard line breaks via trailing ` ` (two spaces) or `\` at end of line. Markdig produces `LineBreakInline` nodes with `.IsHard`. The regex parser ignores these entirely.
+- The AST walker needs to decide: does a hard break within a paragraph produce a new `IntermediateBlock` (new rendered line) or just a newline character? The current `IntermediateBlock` model assumes one block per logical paragraph.
+- **Mitigation:** For v1, treat hard breaks as spaces (same as current behavior). Optionally emit a line break by splitting the paragraph into multiple `IntermediateBlock`s.
+

+
+## Why Did the Original Author Back Away from AST Lowering?
+
+Based on the code evidence, my hypothesis:
+
+1. **The comment `"parsed AST is intentionally unused in v1 lowering"` was aspirational.** The parse call was kept as a placeholder for a future where the AST would be used, but the regex approach was faster to prototype.
+
+2. **Nested blocks are hard.** The flat `IntermediateBlock` model was designed for line-by-line processing. Making it work with Markdig's recursive tree requires either (a) changing `IntermediateBlock` to support children, or (b) flattening during lowering. Option (a) would cascade into the entire layout/drawing pipeline. Option (b) is subtle to get right.
+
+3. **Tables were already working.** `TableData.TryParse()` was a self-contained regex-based table parser that produced exactly what `MarkdownTable` needed. Replacing it with AST walking would require restructuring `TableData` or adding a conversion layer. The path of least resistance was to keep the regex parser.
+
+4. **The inline parser was already written.** `MarkdownInlineParser` handles bold, italic, code, links, and images. Replacing it with Markdig inline walking is straightforward but represents throwaway work for the original implementation.
+
+In short: the regex approach was a working prototype, and the gap to AST-based lowering was larger than it appeared because of nesting and table integration. The `MarkdownPipeline` property was likely added speculatively for future use, and the `Parse()` call was kept to validate the pipeline without actually using its output.
