Proposal: sharpen interaction.md's 'No Reverse-Video Highlighting in Chat Output' rule. Craig's feedback in org-drill (2026-05-30, saved as a harness memory there): chat output must have zero markup — no code fences, no bold, no backtick spans, ever ('always always list it out without markup'). The current rule bans bold and inline-code spans but says fenced code blocks 'are acceptable when the user explicitly wants a block to copy'. Craig's directive tightens that: default to plain text always; no fences either. Suggest updating the rule text so every project inherits it instead of it living as one project's memory. Evidence: org-drill memory file no-markup-chat-output.md and the 2026-05-30 session log there.
