Hello,

I discovered a bug where the request chat bubble displays special characters like <, > in their encoded HTML form (&lt;, &gt;). Additionally, markdown formatting such as backticks `` is displayed as raw text instead of being rendered inside a code block (gray box).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Send a message containing special characters like < or >
  2. Observe that the characters are displayed as &lt; and &gt; instead of < and >
  3. Send a message containing markdown formatting (e.g., ```code```)
  4. Observe that the markdown is displayed as raw text instead of being rendered in a code block

Thank you for your work, and I wish you all a great day,
Joshua Krimmer
