Category	Suggestion	Score
General	Enhance text sanitization to handle all potential markdown special characters that could cause formatting issues Consider using a more comprehensive sanitization approach. The current fix only handles newlines followed by "/", but other markdown special characters could also cause formatting issues. Consider sanitizing other potential markdown syntax conflicts. pr_agent/tools/pr_questions.py [120-122] model_answer = self.prediction.strip() -# sanitize the answer so that no line will start with "/" -model_answer_sanitized = model_answer.replace("\n/", "\n /") +# sanitize markdown special characters that could cause formatting issues +markdown_chars = ['/', '#', '*', '_', '`', '>', '-'] +model_answer_sanitized = model_answer +for char in markdown_chars: + model_answer_sanitized = model_answer_sanitized.replace(f"\n{char}", f"\n {char}") Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: The suggestion significantly improves the robustness of the markdown sanitization by handling multiple special characters that could cause formatting issues, not just the '/' character. This is a valuable enhancement for preventing potential markdown rendering problems.	8
