Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the macOS Codex app by asking ChatGPT to output a markdown file, then trace the app's markdown or file-link rendering entry point. Done means the generated file name is clickable and opens or downloads as expected, with coverage for this behavior if the project has an appropriate test location.
