Reproduction

  1. Open the dashboard markdown widget.
  2. Enter <img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>.
  3. The preview assigns transformed user input directly to innerHTML, preserving the executable tag.

Expected

Markdown formatting is rendered, but raw HTML and attribute payloads remain escaped. Add a behavioral regression test for the renderer.

Evidence

frontend/index.html builds html from the raw textarea value and inserts it at line 337 without escaping the formatted branch.
