Research direction

Start by rendering the provided QMD example with Quarto 1.7.33 and the revealjs format, checking how the Mermaid figure behaves inside the indented list item. Trace the figure-alignment handling for indented code chunks and compare it with a non-indented chunk. Done means the resulting figure stays centered and correctly indented within the list item.
