I am picking this ticket up now.

First I will bring up an isolated workspace with a fresh checkout and investigate whether the ticket matches the current state of the code before planning any change. I will announce every step here before I take it.

Starting research round 1 of at most 5.

I am now reading the relevant source, tests, and prior work in the live checkout to verify the ticket and gather the context needed for a concrete plan. This can take a while; I will post periodic progress updates until it completes.

I compared the ticket's claim against the current source code, tests, and external documentation. The investigation shows that newlines are already fully supported across input, submission, storage, rendering, and display. The reported problem does not exist in the current codebase.

This mismatch suggests the ticket may be based on an outdated or inaccurate observation. To resolve this, could you confirm whether the ticket is still accurate or should be closed?

I need input to continue.

What I tried: Retried this step 3 times.
What I found: Each attempt failed for internal reasons unrelated to this ticket. The details are in the operator's logs; this is not a judgment about the ticket.

The system needs operator attention before I can continue. Reply here once things are healthy and I will resume from where I left off.

After reviewing the current source code, test coverage, and external documentation, the system fully supports newlines in chat messages across input, storage, rendering, and display layers. The ticket’s claim that this feature is missing does not match the observed implementation.

Could you confirm whether this description still reflects the intended scope, or should the ticket be closed as a mismatch?
