Describe the enhancement you want to request
When opening a
.mdfile in the web/desktop file viewer (the session file tab), it's always shown as raw source — so README, AGENTS.md, docs and instructions display as#,**,[text](url)instead of rendered content.Markdown is everywhere in the opencode ecosystem (README, AGENTS.md, instructions, custom commands, plans), so reading raw syntax for these is a poor experience.
It would be great if
.md/.markdownfiles could be rendered as a rich-text preview in the file viewer, with a toggle to switch back to source (so line-level comments on the raw source still work).
