Follow-up to #49668. The read tool, for external agents, is still incorrectly rendering Markdown.

How to reproduce

  • Open a thread with any external agent (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
  • Ask it to read a file with markdown-supported characters (e.g. __init__.py)

Showcase

Before (incorrect; init is bold):

After (__init__ renders correctly):

Release Notes:

  • Agent: Fix rendering of filenames in read tool header

Sorry, it seems that the issue is only occurring with external agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.); I updated my initial message.
