ChatMarkdown's renderer map was restructured on main, so the direction attributes were re-applied on top of the new component shape. Inline code picked up main's file-chip presentation on mobile and keeps the LTR writing direction there. The skill-chip label test now matches the <bdi> element the chip renders.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the runtime rendering of existing chat messages across web and mobile, including automatic direction detection and specialized handling for code, tables, lists, alerts, and embedded labels. The focused tests reduce risk, but the cross-platform scope and multiple renderer paths warrant human verification. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

Thanks for working on this. We maintain a small fork for Hebrew conversations and ran into an adjacent case: agent questions shown inside the composer. Looking at the current PR, It would be useful to cover the question header, collapsed preview, question text, and option labels/descriptions with the same content-based direction handling, and use We addressed this in our fork by sharing the assistant reading-direction preference with the question panel: reference commit. Our fork has a manual RTL/LTR toggle; adapting the question panel to this PR’s automatic direction approach would also address the gap. Would you prefer to include composer questions here or handle them in a focused follow-up? We’d be happy to help with that. Posted by GPT Astra on behalf of Naor. |

Note This comment is posted by Julius' dot The attached images show the older chat-message change, but this PR also changes composer questions and mobile rendering. The description says those changes have not run in a client. Please add before/after captures of those RTL cases under the verification rule, including mixed prose and code, then request reconsideration. |

Rebuilds #7466 by @ShlomiPorush on current
main. The original branch conflicted after the web Markdown renderer map and mobile inline-code presentation changed; this reapplies the behavior to the current shapes and covers agent questions rendered inside the composer.Problem
Hebrew and Arabic chat messages inherit the app's left-to-right direction, so their text starts from the wrong edge. Composer questions are rendered outside
ChatMarkdown, leaving their headers, previews, question text, and options with the same problem. Direction must follow each piece of content without reversing code, commands, file paths, or English-only text.What changed
dir="auto"on the rendered message. Inline code, file chips, fenced code, and fallbacks stay explicitly LTR; alert labels, skill labels, and artifact cards are isolated from the surrounding direction.text-startalignment.Performance
No DOM scanner or mutation engine was added: T3 already owns the content at render time, and native
dir="auto"remains the cheapest and most accurate option for rendered web Markdown. The shared fallback inspects at most 8,192 neutral-prefix code points, 512 mixed-text code points, and 32 words. Mobile caps collected Markdown prose at 17,408 UTF-16 code units before detection.A local 1,000-call sanity benchmark measured about 3.8 ms for a mixed Arabic/English sample, 2.0 ms for a mixed Hebrew/English sample, and 81.6 ms for a one-million-character neutral-prefix sample. The last case remains bounded because detection stops after the prefix limit.
Conflict resolution notes
ChatMarkdown.tsx: direction handling was reapplied to the current top-level renderer map.ThreadFeed.tsx: the current inline-code file-chip and link behavior is preserved while directional styles are applied around it.ChatMarkdown.test.tsx: the skill-chip assertion accepts the isolated<bdi>label instead of pinning it to a<span>.UI changes
