## Launch prompt
Explore **F7 — rendered track-changes markdown preview** (baseline-aware, full
mermaid) and write its Solution Design. Anchor Feature #21; deferred intra-diagram
mermaid diffing #22. Builds on F6 baseline (#17/#19). Decisions locked during the
preceding F6-follow-up ideation (session 0019), recorded in #21.
## Outcome
**F7 Solution Design written and graduated.**
`vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/specs/coauthoring-rendered-preview.md` (v0.1.0)
pushed to the content repo (`--status graduated`). Feature **#21** anchors it;
deferred task **#22** (intra-diagram mermaid diffing) captured.
## Plan
Brainstorming → produce the F7 Solution Design from the locked ideation decisions.
## Pre-state
- Main clean, on `origin/main`. F6 shipped (#17 PR #18, #19 PR #20). Epic #1 open.
- This session continues a long conversation: F6 #17 was planned+executed
(session 0018), the any-file follow-up #19 shipped (session 0019), then the
operator's manual test of F6 surfaced "the diff view isn't intuitive" → an
ideation that chose a **rendered track-changes preview** (Option 3) and locked
its architecture. Issues #21 (F7 feature) + #22 (deferred mermaid) were filed
during that ideation.
## Turn-by-turn arc
1. **Ideation (pre-session, in conversation).** From the F6 manual-test friction:
compared single-pane gutter (quick-diff), inline track-changes marks, and a
rendered preview with change highlights. Operator chose **Option 3** (rendered
preview). Locked deps strategy (markdown-it + mermaid + diff libs; own the
integration; no extension-deps, no CDN), the host/webview render split, and
block-level diff with atomic code/mermaid + whole-diagram mermaid badge.
Captured #21 (feature, with all decisions in the body) + #22 (deferred
intra-diagram mermaid diffing).
2. **Claim.** Operator: "kick it off now" → claimed brainstorming session 0020
(`--type brainstorming`); baseline clean.
3. **Spec.** Wrote `coauthoring-rendered-preview.md` (Solution Design, §110):
custom webview; INV-20..23; reuse F6 baseline + additive `onDidChangeBaseline`;
command `cowriting.showTrackChangesPreview` (`ctrl+alt+r`, markdown-only);
4-slice plan; host-E2E tier with the pure render model as the test seam.
Self-reviewed (no placeholders, consistent names, focused scope).
4. **Review + graduate.** Surfaced the spec + 3 deferred decisions for review.
Operator thumbs-up → finalize graduated + submitted the spec.
## Cut state
- Spec graduated on the content repo main (`coauthoring-rendered-preview.md`).
- #21 commented (spec graduated); #22 captured (deferred). Epic #1 open.
- Plugin repo `main` clean and synced (no code changed this session).
- No code, tests, or builds this session — it is a brainstorming/spec session.
## Deferred decisions
- **F7 coexists with F6** rather than replacing it — F6's native diff serves any
file incl. code; F7 is markdown-only. (Operator reviewed; thumbs-up.)
- **`ctrl+alt+r`** as the open keybinding (markdown-only).
- **Webview DOM/mermaid rendering verified by manual smoke**, not automated E2E —
the sealed webview sandbox can't be DOM-asserted from the host; the automated
seam is the pure render model (`getLastModel`). All three recorded in spec §9;
cheap to revisit.
## Next-session prompt
```
/goal Plan and execute Feature #21 (F7 rendered track-changes markdown preview) from the graduated Solution Design at content specs/coauthoring-rendered-preview.md — 4 slices per §7.2, host-E2E tier, no LLM in CI.
```
Read first: `memory/f7-rendered-preview-spec-graduated.md`. The plan starts with
the pure `trackChangesModel` (vscode-free, unit-tested), then the webview asset +
esbuild second entry (bundle mermaid), then the controller/command + F6
`onDidChangeBaseline` event, then host E2E + smoke. Keep mermaid intra-diagram
diffing out (that's #22).

Brainstorming: explore F7 (rendered track-changes markdown preview, baseline-aware, full mermaid) and write its Solution Design. Anchor Feature #21; deferred mermaid intra-diagram diffing #22. Builds on F6 baseline (#17/#19). Locked: custom webview; markdown-it + mermaid + jsdiff deps; block-level diff + atomic mermaid whole-diagram changed badge.

## Deferred decisions
_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
finalize. Empty if none._
