Claude Code Session Transcript

Task

Fix task list items being parsed as reference links in mdriver.

Problem

GitHub-flavored markdown task list items like:

• - [x] completed TODO
• - [ ] open TODO

Were being incorrectly parsed as reference links with labels "x" or " ".

Solution

1. Added parse_task_list_marker() function to detect GFM task list markers at the start of list item content
2. Modified format_list() to check for task list markers before formatting
3. Task list items render with checkboxes (☑ for checked, ☐ for unchecked) that replace the bullet marker
4. Added 8 unit tests covering various task list scenarios

Changes Made

• src/lib.rs: Added task list parsing and rendering
• tests/unit.rs: Added 8 new tests for task list functionality

Output Example

Before:

  • x[1] completed TODO
  • x[2] another completed TODO

After:

  ☑ completed TODO
  ☑ another completed TODO
  ☐ open TODO
  ☐ bananas

Tests

All 113 tests pass, including 8 new task list tests.
