Python-Markdown — with or without `sane_lists`, I verified — never lets a list interrupt a paragraph, so every `- [x]` line was swallowed into the paragraph as literal text. All other phases start their list right after the `###` header, which is why they looked fine.\n\n**Fix:** since NGUYEN.md is read-only for the website (§0), I added `_restore_interrupted_lists()` to `web/dashboard/research_data.py`, wired into `render_markdown`: it inserts the missing blank line before a list that directly follows paragraph text. It skips indented item-continuations (so existing lists stay tight) and skips fenced code blocks. Archive text is still rendered verbatim — only the block structure is repaired.\n\n**Verified:**\n- Phase 2 and 5B checklists now render as proper `<ul>` lists, structurally identical to Phase 0 (tight, no extra spacing)\n- Edge tests pass: fenced code untouched, tight lists untouched, paragraph→list fixed\n- Server restarted; healthcheck: **all 20 routes 200**; live `/roadmap/` confirmed\n- Logged in RH-WEBSITE.md §7 Done\n\nOne note: this same pattern exists in ~100 archive files (journals, derivations), so those pages get the same rendering fix for free. All web changes (this + the earlier `git_log` fix) are uncommitted — say the word if you want them committed as a website commit (`web/` + `RH-WEBSITE.md` only)."}]
