General fix: avoid relying on complex multi-character “remove specific tag blocks” regexes as the primary sanitizer. Use a robust strategy that cannot reintroduce tag syntax, e.g., strip all tag delimiters or use a vetted HTML sanitizer.
Best fix here without changing existing functionality: in
src/tools/fetch/web-fetch-utils.ts, replace the line-40–43 replacement chain with a simpler, safe transformation that removes all<and>characters before later markdown/tag handling. In this file, there is already downstreamstripTagsand normalization; removing angle brackets early ensures no<style(or any HTML tag start) can persist and eliminates incomplete multi-character sanitization concerns.Needed changes:
htmlToMarkdownloop body (lines 40–43 region).Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
