name	markstream-vue2-cli
description	Integrate markstream-vue2 into a Vue 2 Vue CLI or Webpack 4 app. Use when Codex needs Webpack 4-friendly setup, CDN worker fallbacks for Mermaid or KaTeX, `dist/index.css` imports, Vue 2 composition-api shims, or code block choices limited to `stream-diffs` or plain `<pre>`.

Markstream Vue 2 CLI

Use this skill when the host app is Vue 2 on Vue CLI or another Webpack 4-style stack.

Workflow

1. Confirm the repo uses Vue 2 plus Vue CLI or Webpack 4-era tooling.
2. Install markstream-vue2 and only the peers required for the requested features.
3. Import markstream-vue2/dist/index.css in the app shell.
4. Avoid Vite-style ?worker imports.
   • Use createKaTeXWorkerFromCDN(...) and createMermaidWorkerFromCDN(...) when workers are needed.
5. Prefer stable code block defaults over brittle wiring.
   • In Webpack 4-era repos, stream-diffs (or plain <pre>) is the only code block runtime — there is no Monaco/stream-monaco fallback and no MarkdownCodeBlockNode.
   • Use top-level code-block-options or direct CodeBlockNode.code-block-options for the shared renderer-neutral option contract. Keep header/toolbar props in code-block-props.
   • For AI chat or streaming UIs, keep content and use built-in smooth streaming first.
     • smooth-streaming="auto" is the default and activates when typewriter=true or max-live-nodes <= 0.
     • typewriter only controls the blinking cursor and defaults to false.
     • fade controls node enter and streamed-text fade animations and defaults to true.
   • Streaming vs recovering history: in chat UIs the same MarkdownRender starts streaming and later switches to history when final=true.
     • Streaming: smooth-streaming="auto", :fade="false", typewriter=true. Smooth pacing handles gradual appearance; fade would flicker.
     • Recovering history: :smooth-streaming="false", :fade="true", typewriter=false. Content is already complete — pacing would slow it down, but fade gives a polished entry animation.
     • Dynamic switch: :smooth-streaming="isStreaming ? 'auto' : false", :fade="!isStreaming".
   • Move to nodes + final only for worker-preparsed content, shared AST stores, or custom AST control.
   • Remember that html-policy now defaults to safe, and Mermaid strict mode is on by default through mermaid-props.
6. Validate with the smallest useful local dev or build command.

Default Decisions

• Code block enhancement no longer depends on Monaco; worker-heavy setup applies only to Mermaid/KaTeX CDN workers.
• Prefer CDN workers over bundler workers for Mermaid and KaTeX.
• Keep the Vue 2 composition-api shim explicit when the repo is on Vue 2.6.
• Keep html-policy="safe" and Mermaid strict mode unless the task is preserving trusted legacy rendering.
• If a trusted surface needs older behavior, use html-policy="trusted" and :mermaid-props="{ isStrict: false }" only on that surface and explain why.
