Footer breadcrumbs were unescaping encoded thought values (e.g. <...>) and rendering them as raw tag-like text. This PR fixes the actual root cause by removing entity unescaping from breadcrumb rendering.

  • Root-cause fix

    • Removed entity decoding in breadcrumb render paths:
      • src/components/ContextBreadcrumbs.tsx
      • src/components/Link.tsx
    • Breadcrumb labels now preserve encoded values instead of converting them into raw <...> text.
  • Reverted incorrect approach

    • Reverted the previous pseudo-tag interpretation changes and restored src/util/stripTags.ts behavior to standard tag stripping only.
  • Regression coverage

    • Updated src/components/__tests__/NavBar.ts with a focused test to ensure encoded values remain encoded in breadcrumb rendering.
    • Existing ContextBreadcrumbs tag-stripping test remains passing.
  • Screenshot reference (repro context)

No, the problem has been identified and this is the wrong solution.

Typed angled brackets are already escaped as `"1 < 2" in the thought value. There's no such thing as pseudo tags. That's what HTML character entities are for.

For some reason the ContextBreadcrumbs (or related component) is unescaping the thought value.

Updated in 33318eb. I removed breadcrumb entity unescaping in the rendering path (Link/ContextBreadcrumbs-related flow) and reverted the pseudo-tag stripTags approach, then added a focused regression test asserting encoded values are not rendered as raw unescaped tag text in breadcrumbs.

@copilot Not quite. Something else must be converting <one two> into <one two=""></one> in the ContextBreadcrumbs.

expect(contextBreadcrumbs.textContent).toBe('test')
})

Do not modify strip or stripTags in the solution.
