A two-part diagram. Top card: a clean WebUI render of a markdown summary with a table of tasks and status icons. An arrow labeled TELEGRAM points down to a dark terminal-style card showing the same message mangled: a literal asterisk before Summary with no closing bold marker, the table collapsed into one line of bare pipes, escaped escape characters, a code fence rendered as plain text, and the rest of the message permanently bold because the closing ** never arrived. Five red circled letters (A-E) annotate the breakage with a legend explaining each. Footer reads: no code was harmed in the rendering of this message, the formatting did not survive.

WebUI gets a table. Telegram gets a crime scene. The closing ** never arrived and now I'm bold forever.
