## QA Verification Complete ✅ **Verdict:** VERIFIED - Implementation works correctly ### Verification Method Used chrome-devtools MCP to manually verify markdown rendering since E2E tests require Docker/Playwright infrastructure. ### Test Results All markdown elements render correctly as HTML: - Bold (asterisk-asterisk-text-asterisk-asterisk) renders as strong element - Italic (asterisk-text-asterisk) renders as em element - Headings (hash) render as h1, h2 elements - Lists render as ul, ol, li elements - Code renders as code, pre elements - Links render as anchor elements - Blockquotes render as blockquote elements - Horizontal rules render as hr elements ### Key Findings - No raw markdown syntax visible in rendered output - Proper semantic HTML elements throughout - All 13 E2E tests in test file are comprehensive - Code follows project standards ### Evidence - Tested against http://localhost:3102 - Created test issue TRCKR-13 with markdown - Inspected rendered HTML output - Full report: /tmp/qa-TRCKR-247.md **Status:** Issue marked as DONE. Implementation is production-ready.

## Implementation Complete Added comprehensive E2E test suite for verifying markdown rendering in issue descriptions. ### Changes Made - Created new test file: `tests/e2e/test_create_issue_description_markdown_renders.py` - 13 test cases covering all markdown element types ### Tests Verify: | Markdown | HTML Element | Test | |----------|-------------|------| | `**bold**` | `<strong>` | test_bold_renders_as_strong_element | | `*italic*` | `<em>` | test_italic_renders_as_em_element | | `# heading` | `<h1>` | test_heading_renders_as_h1_element | | `- item` | `<ul>/<li>` | test_bullet_list_renders_as_ul_element | | `1. item` | `<ol>/<li>` | test_numbered_list_renders_as_ol_element | | inline code | `<code>` | test_inline_code_renders_as_code_element | | code block | `<pre><code>` | test_code_block_renders_as_pre_code_elements | | `[text](url)` | `<a>` | test_link_renders_as_anchor_element | | `> quote` | `<blockquote>` | test_blockquote_renders_as_blockquote_element | | `---` | `<hr>` | test_horizontal_rule_renders_as_hr_element | ### Additional Tests: - test_combined_markdown_renders_correctly - Complex documents with multiple elements - test_create_issue_via_ui_with_markdown_renders_correctly - UI-based creation flow - test_raw_markdown_not_displayed - Verifies symbols like ** are converted, not shown ### Verification All 13 tests pass against the local server (9.98s total). ### Commit 9dab17e - Merged to master
