Markdown not rendering

What issue are you seeing?
Markdown support in the Codex window stopped rendering completely for user input, as well as linking to files within a project with backtick + path. All messages from you as a user seem to be purely treated and rendered as text only now. See screenshot below

What steps can reproduce the bug?
Run Codex VS Code plugin v0.4.60 and try to write a message using markdown.
What is the expected behavior?
When writing a message as markdown the expected behavior is to render the message as markdown. (This worked up until yesterday), or linking to files and folders with backticks, eg. path/to/my/folder/ or path/to/specific/file.md would work previously.

I can confirm that downgrading to the previous version (0.4.60) fixes the issue. Though I am not sure if it's just a display bug?

I thought it was just me, I can confirm this behavior too and it's driving me crazy. The only thing it formats are
backticked fileswith single backticks and code blocks in triple backticks. All other markdown formatting is lost including headers with #, line numbers, quotes with >, etc.@psouza4 Seems to have been fixed in version 0.4.62 released ~2 hours! I am closing this issue now seeing as its fixed.
@Dizzzlectic Are you sure? I'm using v0.4.62 (restarted the extension, restarted Visual Studio Code)... my chat payloads to Codex are still not being formatted though and leaving raw markdown.
Header markdown, list markdown, quote block markdown, etc. are just left as unformatted markdown text. I do have the v0.4.62 version installed and I've restarted Visual Studio Code a few times, tried a new Codex agent session, etc.

@Dizzzlectic is there something I need to change in settings to re-enable the formatting under the version you say is working?
