Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the /chat path in app version 1.0.15, editing inline Markdown that contains square brackets. Trace the editor's selection and deletion behavior; done means unrelated text is no longer selected or deleted during editing, with the behavior covered by a regression check.
