The Roadmap page renders the whole NGUYEN.md verbatim through `render_markdown` (python-markdown with tables/fenced_code/sane_lists, plus math protection). So "not displaying correctly" for Phase 2 and Phase 5B checklists is about how python-markdown renders those sections of the NGUYEN.md source. The `roadmap.html` template probably just dumps `{{ html }}`. The checklist items are lines like: ``` - [x] 0.1 Parse notes.txt; index all quantum equations for Track B. → research/derivations/D-001 (living master tool index, Part I done) ``` That's a markdown list with a continuation line (lazy continuation) — renders as a list item containing "→ research/..." text. What's special about Phase 2 and Phase 5B? Phase 2 in NGUYEN.md: ``` ### 🔶 PHASE 2 — Spectral Program (Track B) (MAPPED TO EXHAUSTION at current technology, 2026-08-19 — parked: 2.2/2.3/2.5 unprioritized; live remainder: 2.9 (L1, L3/L4 skeleton) → Paper B / post-publication) NOTE (2026-08-18 regroup): the Suzuki finite-interval operator program (spawned by 3.4c) IS the live realization of this phase — Suzuki's T_a is ... Items 2.6–2.8 are the active queue; 2.2/2.3 remain open, unprioritized. - [~] 2.1 Map Weil form W to candidate quadratic forms ⟨ψ|Ĥ|ψ⟩ using R1 operator formalism (self-adjointness ⟺ real spectrum ⟺ RH). → PARTIAL: Suzuki A_a Galerkin = validated Weil-form operator (ledger #1; E-009a/b, D-019). General Ĥ construction: open. ``` The NOTE paragraph right after the header — a multi-line paragraph. Then the list. Hmm. Phase 5B: ``` ### 🔶 PHASE 5B — TIER ii′: close SfBoundProp in Lean (ACTIVE 2026-08-21 — user directive: BEFORE submission; design D-064; ~9–16 sessions) FREEZE PROTOCOL: paper files (paperA/paperB/draft/references.bib) and existing Lean proofs are untouched until ii′-7 — the ONLY exception is the liCoeff correctness fix (ii′-1a). Paper A stays submission-ready at every sub-stage boundary (D-064 §8). Perimeter (unchanged, D-062 §4): Platt–Trudgian RHUpTo, LiVerifiedUpTo, Trudgian N(T)/S(T), M₀. - [x] ii′-0 Design + capability inventory + identity chain. → COMPLETE (session 014, D-064). TWO DISCOVERIES: ... ``` Both Phase 2 and Phase 5B have a **multi-line paragraph immediately after the `###` header, before the list**. Other phases go straight from header to list items. Why would that break the list rendering? In python-markdown, a list that directly follows a paragraph without a blank line... Let me check: is there a blank line between the paragraph and the first `- [~]`? Looking at the NGUYEN.md raw content from the system context: ``` an explicit RH-equivalent convergence target (success criterion #3). Items 2.6–2.8 are the active queue; 2.2/2.3 remain open, unprioritized. - [~] 2.1 Map Weil form W to candidate quadratic forms ⟨ψ|Ĥ|ψ⟩ using ``` No blank line between "Items 2.6–2.8 ... unprioritized." and "- [~] 2.1 ...". In Python-Markdown, a list following a paragraph **without a blank line** — Python-Markdown actually does NOT support "loose" interruption: per the original Markdown rules, a list can interrupt a paragraph. But Python-Markdown historically... Actually Python-Markdown DOES allow lists to interrupt paragraphs (unlike some stricter parsers). Hmm, wait, no — Python-Markdown does allow a list to interrupt a paragraph? Let me think. In classic Markdown (daringfireball), lists can interrupt paragraphs. Python-Markdown follows that mostly. But there have been issues: Python-Markdown requires... Actually I recall Python-Markdown does NOT allow a list to interrupt a paragraph in some versions — the "sane_lists" extension! sane_lists changes list behavior: "sane_lists — disallow mixing list markers and... " Specifically, sane_lists: "Lists can no longer interrupt paragraphs" — no wait, that's not it either. sane_lists: 1) different markers = different lists; 2) ordered lists must start at 1? No... Python-Markdown's sane_lists: "Sane lists do not allow the mixing of list types (ul/ol) and do not allow a list to interrupt a paragraph"? Hmm, I believe sane_lists makes lists NOT interrupt paragraphs. Yes! From Python-Markdown docs: "sane_lists: ... In addition, lists can no longer interrupt paragraphs." — I'm fairly confident sane_lists disables lazy list interruption of paragraphs. So with `sane_lists` enabled, a `- [x]` list immediately after a paragraph line (no blank line) gets absorbed INTO the paragraph as literal text — rendering as a run-on paragraph with "- [x] ..." text inline. That's exactly "not displaying correctly". For Phase 2 and 5B, the note paragraphs directly precede the lists with no blank line. All other phases have the list directly after the `###` header — headers are block elements so lists after them parse fine. Wait, but also check Phase 1? It goes straight to `- [x] 1.1`. Phase 0, 3, 4, 5 — all straight to list. Phase 2 has the NOTE paragraph. Phase 5B has FREEZE PROTOCOL paragraph. So yes — exactly these two. Also — another possibility within the same sections: there are also embedded items where continuation lines like ` → PARTIAL: ...` — those are indented 6 spaces, treated as lazy continuation or code? In a list item, a continuation line indented... " → ..." — 6 spaces. For a list item "- [x] 0.1 ...", content indent is 2; a line indented 6 spaces could be interpreted as... In markdown, after a list item, an indented line (4+ spaces relative to the list content?) could become a code block. Hmm, but this affects ALL phases equally and user says other phases look fine, so the existing rendering handles it OK (Python-Markdown treats it as a lazy continuation paragraph of the list item? Actually with 6-space indent inside a list item, it could be a nested code block... but the user says other phases display correctly, so whatever it does, it's consistent). Let me verify what the roadmap HTML actually looks like for Phase 2/5B. I could render and inspect. Let me fetch the page or run render_markdown on NGUYEN.md and look at the section HTML. Fix options (website-only, NO research doc edits — NGUYEN.md is a research document, CANNOT add blank lines to it!): §0 HARD RULE: do not write to research documents. NGUYEN.md is research archive. So the fix must be in the website rendering pipeline. But wait — the VERBATIM rule: "the website renders the research archive VERBATIM — no presentation transforms, no conversions, no re-boxing of archive text." Hmm. Adding a preprocessing step that inserts blank lines before lists... is that a "presentation transform"? The verbatim rule was about math typography (Unicode→LaTeX conversion, formula detection). The roadmap page already runs the archive through python-markdown (a renderer, not a transform of content). Fixing the markdown parse so lists render as lists is arguably a rendering bug fix, not a content transform — the text remains identical. Options: 1. In `roadmap` view / render_markdown: preprocess text to insert a blank line before a list marker that directly follows a non-blank, non-list line (CommonMark-style list interruption). This is a general markdown rendering fix, affects all rendered pages (journal, derivations, etc. all use render_markdown). Could change rendering of OTHER archive pages — for the better (lists currently absorbed into paragraphs elsewhere would render as lists). But that could alter display of other documents — though content text stays identical. Risk: some docs might rely on the current behavior? Unlikely to be harmful; but it changes rendering broadly. 2. Drop `sane_lists` from extensions — then lists CAN interrupt paragraphs (default Python-Markdown behavior allows a list to interrupt a paragraph? Actually I need to verify: does default Python-Markdown allow list interruption of paragraphs? The daringfireball syntax says lists can interrupt paragraphs; Python-Markdown historically... I recall Python-Markdown does allow lists to interrupt paragraphs by default, and sane_lists removes that ability. Let me verify empirically.) Removing sane_lists changes behavior: mixing markers creates same list (minor). This might affect all pages too. Either way the change is to render_markdown — global. That's the single markdown pipeline for all archive pages. The user wants the fix; the verbatim rule concerns content fidelity — both options keep text identical, just parse structure. Empirical approach: run render_markdown on the NGUYEN.md §5B snippet and confirm the hypothesis, then test option 2 (remove sane_lists) vs option 1 (blank-line insertion), choose the minimal, safest. Actually, let me first confirm what sane_lists does in the installed version. From Python-Markdown docs (3.x): > Sane Lists > Sane Lists do not allow the mixing of list types (ordered and unordered). In other words, an ordered list will not continue when an unordered list item is encountered and vice versa. ... Additionally, sane_lists will not allow a list to interrupt a paragraph. I'm quite sure the last sentence is right: sane_lists adds "lists cannot interrupt paragraphs". Hmm, actually I want to verify — let me just test in the venv. Plan: 1. Reproduce: render the Phase 5B snippet with the current pipeline, confirm list items absorbed into paragraph. 2. Test removing sane_lists → check list renders. Also check that other things (e.g., mixed lists in archive docs) aren't adversely affected — sane_lists also affects whether "1." starting mid-list... The main risk: some archive doc uses different markers intentionally as one list. Minor. 3. Alternatively implement targeted preprocessing. Which is safer? Actually — wait. There might be more to it. The user said "check list is not displaying correctly" for Phase 2 and Phase 5B. Let me actually fetch the roadmap page HTML around those phases to see the actual broken rendering before deciding. Let me do that first — fetch http://127.0.0.1:8001/roadmap/ and inspect. But it's a big page. I can use WebFetch... it summarizes with an AI model — better to curl raw HTML via Bash and grep the section. Or run the renderer locally and inspect the HTML for those sections. That's cleaner and doesn't need the server. Let me run: ```python from dashboard import research_data as rd html = rd.render_markdown(rd.read_text(rd.REPO / "NGUYEN.md")) # find "PHASE 5B" region ``` Print the region around "PHASE 2" and "PHASE 5B".
The Roadmap page renders NGUYEN.md wholesale through `render_markdown` (python-markdown with `sane_lists`). Let me reproduce the actual rendering for those two sections.
