claude code agent 227 5e8cb628f0 feat(ai-chat): compact reasoning rendering — collapse blank lines (#181)
The "Thinking" (reasoning) block rendered with large vertical gaps: models
emit reasoning with a blank line (\n\n) between every list item and
paragraph, which `marked` turns into loose lists (each <li> wrapped in a
<p>) and separate <p> paragraphs, each carrying a margin.

- Add `collapseBlankLines(text)`: collapse 2+ newlines to one, EXCEPT inside
  fenced code blocks (``` / ~~~) where blank lines are significant. Applied
  in reasoning-block.tsx before renderChatMarkdown, so loose lists become
  tight (no <li><p>) and paragraphs join; `breaks: true` keeps single \n as
  <br>, preserving line breaks. Reasoning-only — the normal answer is
  untouched.
- Drop `white-space: pre-wrap` from `.reasoningText`: on the rendered
  markdown <div> it turned the newlines between block tags into visible
  blank lines on top of the margins. The plain-text fallback <Text> that
  needs pre-wrap already sets it inline.

Tests: collapseBlankLines unit (collapse, fence preservation incl. tilde and
unclosed fences) + rendered-HTML assertions that a blank-line-separated list
becomes a tight list and still parses as a list after a paragraph.

// Pure helper for compact reasoning ("Thinking") rendering. Kept free of React
// so it can be unit-tested in isolation (see collapse-blank-lines.test.ts).
/**
* Collapse runs of 2+ newlines down to a single newline, EXCEPT inside fenced
* code blocks (``` ... ``` or ~~~ ... ~~~), where blank lines are significant.
*
* Why: reasoning models emit thinking with a blank line (`\n\n`) between every
* list item and paragraph. `marked` turns those into "loose" lists (each `<li>`
* wrapped in a `<p>`) and separate `<p>` paragraphs, each carrying a vertical
* margin — so the "Thinking" block renders with large, airy gaps. Removing the
* blank-line gaps yields tight lists (no `<li><p>`) and joined paragraphs. The
* chat markdown renderer runs with `breaks: true`, so a single `\n` still
* becomes a `<br>` — line breaks inside the reasoning are preserved; only the
* empty gaps between blocks disappear. Apply ONLY to reasoning text, never to a
* normal assistant answer (where paragraph spacing is intentional).
*
* Fenced code is preserved verbatim: a fence opens on a line whose first
* non-space characters are ``` or ~~~ and closes on the next line that starts
* with the same fence character. Blank lines between fences (significant for
* code formatting) are never collapsed.
