fix(web): render Mermaid diagrams in Markdown - #9621
Aniketvish0 wants to merge 17 commits into
Conversation
Mermaid fences rendered as plain code, so agent plans and architecture notes lost their visual structure. Render completed mermaid fences through a lazy-loaded MermaidDiagram with strict security mode, theme-aware init, serialized global config, and fallback to highlighted source on error or while streaming. Preserve original fence source for copy. Desktop inherits web behavior; mobile unchanged. Model: Muse Spark in T3 Code.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds automatic Mermaid rendering across existing Markdown surfaces, including a new runtime dependency, asynchronous renderer/cache, SVG output, layout behavior, and clipboard integration. It changes the default presentation of existing Mermaid fences rather than adding an opt-in path, so the scope warrants human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

can you add visual evidence for this? I'm interested in following :) |
Remount per code and theme instead of tracking code/theme match in state. Drops the sequence counter and the match branch; a theme flip remounts through the code fallback instead of flashing a stale diagram. Model: Muse Spark in T3 Code.

Mermaid diagrams now render in Markdown. @gsimone

Mermaid already emits width="100%" plus an inline max-width equal to the diagram's natural width, so the SVG fits its container on its own. The layout effect that forced the viewBox width in pixels and cleared max-width made every wide diagram overflow into a horizontal scroll. Drop it and let the height follow the viewBox. Cache rendered SVG by theme and source (50 entries). The chat list unmounts off-screen rows, so scrolling back past a diagram re-ran Mermaid, flashed the code fallback, and jumped the row height.

Would be nice to have a way to toggle between the code fence version and the visual version. |
Yes would love to add that, but the t3 team commented they are not planning to include mermaid features currently due to performance issues 🥲 |
|
@Aniketvish0 What about the chat? I have quite some cases where Astra is outputing mermaid directly in Chat. |
|
@mxzinke i have updated it to support chat mermaid generation also , and toggle of code to diagram . Visual evidence from the dev server (chat + file preview): Sequence diagram and wide flowchart fitted to the pane:
|
Mermaid fences get a Show source / Show diagram toggle, mmd alias support, and a click-to-expand scrollable overlay at natural size. Invalid fences fall back to plain code with no error text. Perf: mermaid lib stays lazy-loaded, renders serialize through the existing queue, SVGs cache (50 LRU) and reuse on scroll/remount/popup, off-screen diagrams defer via IntersectionObserver, and streaming code blocks pay no toggle state updates.

Addresses CodeRabbit review: the overlay moves focus to Close on open, cycles Tab and Shift+Tab across its controls, and keeps restoring focus to the opener on close. Also trims long comments.

Addresses CodeRabbit review: the full-screen backdrop button stays mouse-clickable but leaves the keyboard cycle via tabindex -1, and the focus trap selector excludes it. Tab now cycles Copy and Close only.

Yeah, Astra seems to love outputting Mermaid charts, so it'd be really nice if they were supported. |

@Qard i have updated to support that also while taking care of the performance , lets see if they merge this |

Mermaid fences currently render as ordinary code blocks, so diagrams in chat, plans, file previews, and PR bodies lose the visual structure available in other renderers.
This change lazy-loads Mermaid only when a completed mermaid fence is present, serializes rendering because Mermaid config is global, and falls back to highlighted source on error or while streaming. Diagrams use strict security mode with a directive blocklist, follow the active theme, and preserve the original fence source for copy. Desktop inherits the web behavior; mobile is unchanged (separate native renderer).
Sizing: Mermaid emits
width="100%"plus an inlinemax-widthequal to the diagram's natural width, so the SVG shrinks to fit the chat column and never grows past its native size. Onlyheight: autois added so the height follows the viewBox. Wide diagrams no longer overflow into a horizontal scroll.Caching: rendered SVG is cached by theme and source (50 entries). The chat list unmounts off-screen rows, so without the cache every scroll back past a diagram re-ran Mermaid, flashed the code fallback, and jumped the row height.
Validation:

Performance notes on this implementation:
import("mermaid")only when a mermaid fence reaches the viewport. No cost for threads without diagrams.mermaidRenderQueue) because Mermaid config is global. Concurrent diagrams cannot clobber each other's config.IntersectionObserverwithrootMargin: "400px"starts render just before scroll-in, so diagrams do not pop in late.renderedDiagrams,MermaidDiagram.tsx:18) keyed by theme+code. The chat list unmounts off-screen rows, without this every scroll-back re-ran Mermaid, flashed the code fallback, and jumped row height.renderMermaid = !isStreaming), so per-token re-renders pay no Mermaid cost. Toggle reset is render-phase gated for the same reason.securityLevel: "strict"plussecureallowlist andsuppressErrorRendering: true. Failures fall back to source silently, no error UI work.Suspensereserve, so no plain-text flash and no layout shift.Related: #4571, open #6191 / #8533, closed #4989 / #7497.
Model: Muse Spark in T3 Code.
Note
Render Mermaid diagrams in chat Markdown code fences
mermaidlanguage now render through a newMermaidDiagramcomponent in ChatMarkdown.tsx; streaming fences and all other languages keep the existing Shiki path.serializeMarkdownCodeFencehelper in markdown-clipboard.ts.MermaidDiagramdynamically imports Mermaid on first render; if the import fails the code-block fallback is shown but no retry is attempted until the component re-mounts.Macroscope summarized b1ef2ca.
