Add a local converter that maps the Markdown subset we emit to Telegram's HTML subset (``, ``, ``, ``, `
`, ``,
`
`), thread `parseMode` through TelegramClient, and route
every outbound chunk in telegramPoller through the converter with
`parse_mode: 'HTML'`. Dangling fenced blocks at chunk boundaries are
auto-closed so 4096-char splits stay parseable.

Closes #1665

+# Telegram Message Markdown Render Plan
+
+## Approach
+
+- Add `src/main/presenter/remoteControlPresenter/telegram/telegramMarkdown.ts` exposing `convertMarkdownToTelegramHtml(text: string): string`, mirroring the Feishu-side `feishuMarkdown.ts` module location and shape.
+- The converter:
+  - Escapes `&`, `<`, `>` first to make raw text safe for `parse_mode: 'HTML'`.
+  - Handles fenced code blocks (` ``` `) by emitting `
...
` and protecting the body from further Markdown processing.
+  - Handles inline code (` `…` `), bold (`**`/`__`), italic (`*`/`_`), strikethrough (`~~`), links, headings (`#…######`), unordered/ordered lists, and blockquotes (`>`).
+  - Auto-closes a dangling fenced block when called on a chunk that ends mid-block, so each chunk produces valid HTML for Telegram.
+- Extend `TelegramClient.sendMessage`, `editMessageText`, and `sendPhoto` with an optional `parseMode` ('HTML' | 'MarkdownV2'). Default remains undefined for backward compatibility.
+- In `TelegramPoller`:
+  - Convert chunk text via `convertMarkdownToTelegramHtml` before `sendMessage`/`editMessageText` calls in `syncDeliverySegment`, `sendChunkedMessage`, `dispatchOutboundActions`, and `editMessageText`. Pass `parseMode: 'HTML'`.
+  - Apply conversion to the interaction prompt text as well so callback prompts render formatting consistently.
+
+## Validation
+
+- Run `pnpm test test/main/presenter/remoteControlPresenter/telegramClient.test.ts` (extended) and a new `telegramMarkdown.test.ts` covering core conversion rules and chunk-boundary behavior.
+- Run `pnpm run typecheck:node` to confirm no signature break in callers (Poller, Adapter).

+# Telegram Message Markdown Render
+
+## User Story
+
+When DeepChat's Telegram remote control bot delivers AI replies, command output, and other generated text, users should see properly rendered formatting (bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, lists, blockquotes) instead of raw Markdown symbols (`**bold**`, `# heading`, ` ``` `).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `telegramClient.sendMessage` and `telegramClient.editMessageText` call the Telegram Bot API with `parse_mode: 'HTML'` when the outbound text contains formatted content.
+- AI answer / process delivery segments routed through `TelegramPoller.syncDeliverySegment` and outbound actions dispatched via `dispatchOutboundActions` go through a Markdown → Telegram-HTML converter that handles bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, headings, links, ordered/unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.
+- Plain text (system replies, error messages, command echoes) is HTML-escaped and accepted by Telegram without parse-mode errors.
+- Chunked streaming (4096 char limit) keeps each chunk independently renderable — partial Markdown left at a chunk boundary (e.g. an unclosed code fence) renders as text or a safely balanced block instead of breaking the Telegram parse.
+- Existing Telegram client tests pass; a new test covers the converter and parse-mode wiring.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Keep behavior parity with the existing Feishu pattern: a dedicated `telegramMarkdown.ts` module living next to `telegramClient.ts`, surfaced through a single conversion entry point.
+- No new runtime dependency; the conversion is implemented locally to keep the bundle lean and stay within Telegram's HTML subset.
+- Do not change `chunkTelegramText` semantics or the streaming delivery state shape.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- No switch to Telegram MarkdownV2.
+- No changes to attachment handling, photo captions beyond passing `parse_mode` when a caption is sent.
+- No richer Telegram-only features (custom emojis, spoilers, MessageEntities).

+# Telegram Message Markdown Render Tasks
+
+- [x] Capture the reproduction from issue #1665 and confirm `sendMessage`/`editMessageText` ship raw Markdown without `parse_mode`.
+- [x] Draft SDD spec, plan, tasks documents.
+- [ ] Implement `telegram/telegramMarkdown.ts` with `convertMarkdownToTelegramHtml`.
+- [ ] Thread an optional `parseMode` through `TelegramClient.sendMessage`, `editMessageText`, and `sendPhoto`.
+- [ ] Update `TelegramPoller` to apply the converter and pass `parse_mode: 'HTML'` on all generated text paths.
+- [ ] Add focused tests for the converter and parse-mode wiring; keep existing telegram tests green.
+- [ ] Run `pnpm run format`, `pnpm run lint`, `pnpm run typecheck:node`, and the focused test suites.

+# Agent Loop Input And Exec Responsiveness Plan
+
+## Runtime Input Flow
+
+- Keep `chat.steerActiveTurn` as the active-turn entry point.
+- Remove hidden steer injection from provider request construction.
+- Store active steer input as a priority pending row while the current loop turn continues, so steer
+  never aborts the in-flight provider request.
+- At the process loop boundary after tool calls have returned, yield before continuing to the next
+  provider request when a pending steer exists; the outer runtime then drains steer through
+  `processMessage()` as a normal user message.
+- Drain pending steer rows before pending queue rows by claiming the row and passing its payload to
+  `processMessage()` with visible user-message persistence.
+- Keep steer rows locked and non-editable, but show not-yet-entered steer rows in the pending input
+  rail.
+
+## Exec Isolation
+
+- Keep the existing background exec core manager as the utility host implementation.
+- Replace the exported singleton with a main-process RPC proxy that starts an Electron
+  `utilityProcess` from the existing main bundle using a dedicated host flag.
+- Route `start`, `waitForCompletionOrYield`, `poll`, `log`, `write`, `kill`, `clear`, `remove`,
+  `cleanupConversation`, and `shutdown` through JSON-serializable messages.
+- Track started sessions in the proxy so an unexpected utility exit can return diagnostic error
+  snapshots for affected sessions.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- `PendingSessionInputMode` remains `queue | steer`.
+- Existing `sessions.convertPendingInputToSteer` route remains available for stored and older UI
+  flows.
+- `AgentBashHandler` keeps its current public return shape for completed and yielded commands.
+
+## Validation
+
+- Update agent runtime/session integration tests for visible steer turns.
+- Update pending input rail tests to assert pending steer rows render as locked items.
+- Preserve existing background exec core tests and add coverage around the utility proxy behavior
+  where practical.

+# Agent Loop Input And Exec Responsiveness
+
+## User Stories
+
+- As a user steering an active agent turn, I want my steering input to appear as a normal user
+  message so the conversation transcript matches what the agent saw.
+- As a user running long shell commands, I want `exec` to yield quickly and keep DeepChat's main
+  process responsive while the command continues in a managed background session.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Active steer does not interrupt the current provider request; it records a priority steer input,
+  lets the current loop iteration finish including tool results, then yields before the next
+  provider loop so the steer payload is inserted as a normal visible user turn.
+- Pending rows with `mode: "steer"` remain readable for compatibility, but drain before ordinary
+  queued rows as visible user turns instead of hidden request injections.
+- Pending input UI shows not-yet-entered steer rows in the waiting lane as locked items, and keeps
+  ordinary queued follow-ups editable.
+- Foreground `exec` returns a normal result if it finishes inside `yieldMs`; otherwise it returns a
+  running `sessionId`.
+- Shell process spawning, output decoding, output offload, timeout, and process-tree termination
+  run in an Electron utility process rather than the main event loop.
+- If the utility process exits unexpectedly, affected sessions surface an error snapshot instead of
+  blocking the main process.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Do not change the public `exec` tool schema or permission semantics.
+- Do not add renderer settings for exec isolation.
+- Do not refactor the full agent runtime or provider loop.

+# Tasks
+
+- [x] Add SDD artifacts for the combined responsiveness issue.
+- [x] Queue active steer until the current loop iteration finishes without aborting the stream.
+- [x] Yield the agent loop after completed tool calls when a pending steer should enter next.
+- [x] Convert pending steer drain into visible user turns.
+- [x] Remove hidden steer request injection.
+- [x] Show not-yet-entered steer rows in the renderer pending rail.

   - Apply conversion to the interaction prompt text as well so callback prompts render formatting consistently.

 - `telegramClient.sendMessage` and `telegramClient.editMessageText` call the Telegram Bot API with `parse_mode: 'HTML'` when the outbound text contains formatted content.
 - AI answer / process delivery segments routed through `TelegramPoller.syncDeliverySegment` and outbound actions dispatched via `dispatchOutboundActions` go through a Markdown → Telegram-HTML converter that handles bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, headings, links, ordered/unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.
+- Common GFM pipe tables render as fixed-width preformatted text because Telegram does not support native table entities.
 - Plain text (system replies, error messages, command echoes) is HTML-escaped and accepted by Telegram without parse-mode errors.
 - Chunked streaming (4096 char limit) keeps each chunk independently renderable — partial Markdown left at a chunk boundary (e.g. an unclosed code fence) renders as text or a safely balanced block instead of breaking the Telegram parse.
+- If Telegram rejects converted HTML with an entity-parse error, DeepChat retries the same outbound chunk as plain text.
 - Existing Telegram client tests pass; a new test covers the converter and parse-mode wiring.

+# Plan
+
+## Source Review
+
+- Compare upstream `trycua/cua` tags `cua-driver-v0.1.5` and
+  `cua-driver-v0.2.0`.
+- Apply the Swift driver delta with a three-way merge against DeepChat's
+  maintained fork.
+- Keep upstream Rust driver changes out of this sync.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- Merge upstream Swift runtime changes into
+  `plugins/cua/vendor/cua-driver/source`.
+- Adapt new upstream TCC, doctor, and MCP daemon-proxy text and commands to
+  `DeepChat Computer Use.app` and `com.wefonk.deepchat.computeruse`.
+- Preserve DeepChat-only CLI behavior: `deepchat-permission-probe`, nonblocking
+  MCP startup, and DeepChat-managed `update`.
+- Update `plugins/cua/vendor/cua-driver/upstream.json` to `cua-driver-v0.2.0`.
+- Leave packaged skills unchanged unless validation shows upstream skill content
+  changed in the Swift release.
+
+## Validation
+
+- Run `swift build --package-path plugins/cua/vendor/cua-driver/source --product cua-driver`.
+- Run `pnpm run format`.
+- Run `pnpm run i18n`.
+- Run `pnpm run lint`.
+- Run `git diff --check`.
+- Run `pnpm run plugin:cua:build:mac:arm64`.
+- Run `pnpm run plugin:validate -- --name cua --platform darwin --arch arm64`.
+
+## Risk
+
+The vendored driver is a local fork with DeepChat-specific TCC and packaging
+behavior. A direct replacement with upstream source would risk regressing the
+helper identity, permission flow, and plugin-managed update path, so the sync is
+kept as an explicit fork merge.

+# CUA Driver v0.2.0 Sync
+
+## Problem
+
+The bundled DeepChat Computer Use helper is based on upstream
+`cua-driver-v0.1.5`. Upstream Swift CUA driver `cua-driver-v0.2.0` contains
+macOS reliability fixes for focus suppression, screenshot capture fallback,
+hidden app handling, side-effect detection, and MCP daemon proxying.
+
+## User Story
+
+As a DeepChat user using the bundled CUA plugin, I need the macOS helper to
+include current upstream Swift driver fixes while continuing to use DeepChat's
+helper app, TCC permissions, MCP registration, and plugin packaging.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Vendored upstream metadata records `cua-driver-v0.2.0` and commit
+  `d3f3b9325f49aa5302c15fb03f6b66bd1e688e27`.
+- The local fork includes the upstream Swift driver runtime improvements from
+  `v0.1.5` through `v0.2.0`.
+- DeepChat-specific behavior remains intact: `DeepChat Computer Use.app`,
+  bundle id `com.wefonk.deepchat.computeruse`, `deepchat-permission-probe`,
+  DeepChat-managed updates, and MCP-first plugin skills.
+- The Rust `cua-driver-rs` runtime is not introduced in this sync.
+- Validation covers Swift build, formatting, i18n, lint, diff checks, CUA
+  runtime build, and plugin validation where practical.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No migration to `cua-driver-rs`.
+- No changes to the CUA plugin manifest, settings UI, MCP server id, or tool
+  policy.
+- No adoption of upstream standalone installer behavior for DeepChat updates.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Preserve DeepChat's local helper app identity for TCC attribution.
+- Keep packaged `plugins/cua/skills/cua-driver` guidance MCP-first.
+- Treat upstream standalone scripts as reference material unless required by
+  the bundled helper build.

+                against the wrong bundle id. To sidestep this without breaking
+                the stdio MCP transport, `mcp` detects the context, ensures a
+                `cua-driver serve` daemon is running under LaunchServices
+                (relaunching via `open -n -g -a "DeepChat Computer Use" --args serve` if not),
+                and proxies every MCP tool call through the daemon's Unix
+                socket. Tool semantics are identical to the in-process path.
+                Pass `--no-daemon-relaunch` (or set CUA_DRIVER_MCP_NO_RELAUNCH=1)
+                to force in-process execution — useful when the calling context
+                already has the right TCC grants (e.g. spawned from DeepChat Computer Use.app

+/// The shared dispatcher applies four overlapping guarantees so that no

+/// rest of the process's life:
+///
+/// 1. **Closure scope (preferred)** — ``withSuppression(targetPid:restoreTo:origin:body:)``
+///    pairs begin/end with `defer`. No handle escapes the closure.
+/// 2. **ARC scope** — ``leaseSuppression(targetPid:restoreTo:origin:)`` returns
+///    a ``SuppressionLease`` that ends the entry in `deinit`. Catches any
+///    control flow scope-defer cannot — thrown errors between begin and end,
+///    task cancellation, future call-site regressions.
+/// 3. **Wall-clock deadline** — every entry carries a ``maxLifetimeNs``
+///    expiry (default 5 s). The observer evicts expired entries on every
+///    fire; a janitor task evicts during idle. **Worst-case leak duration is
+///    bounded by ``maxLifetimeNs``, independent of every other layer.**
+/// 4. **Observability** — every entry carries an ``origin`` tag and the
+///    dispatcher logs a warning when active count crosses

+///    leaks surface in `log show --process cua-driver` instead of silently
