Research direction

Reproduce the issue by writing a reply beginning with a number, dot, and space, such as 5. test, then compare the rendered result with Reddit's display. Trace the reply composition and rendering entry points to find where this text is transformed; done means ordinary numeric sentence starts no longer become unintended numbered lists while intentional lists still render correctly.
