-# Bug 460: strip_bot_mention fails on Element Markdown mention pill format
-
-## Description
-
-When Element sends a mention pill, the plain text `body` field contains a Markdown-style link like `[@timmy:crashlabs.io](https://matrix.to/#/@timmy:crashlabs.io) status`. The `strip_bot_mention` function uses prefix matching, so it tries to match `@timmy:crashlabs.io`, `@timmy`, and `Timmy` against text starting with `[` — none match. The entire message falls through to the LLM as a non-command.
-
-`mentions_bot` works because it uses `body.contains(full_id)` which finds the MXID embedded inside the Markdown link. But `strip_bot_mention` fails because the text starts with `[`, not `@` or the display name.
-
-This causes all deterministic bot commands (status, help, ambient, etc.) to be routed to the LLM instead of being handled by the bot when the user uses Element's mention pill (@-autocomplete).
-
-## How to Reproduce
-
-1. In Element, type `@timmy` and use the autocomplete pill to mention the bot
-2. Append a command like `status`
-3. Send the message
-
-## Actual Result
-
-The command falls through to the LLM. The bot logs show no "Handled bot command" entry. The plain body is `[@timmy:crashlabs.io](https://matrix.to/#/@timmy:crashlabs.io) status` which `strip_bot_mention` cannot parse.
-
-## Expected Result
-
-The bot should strip the Markdown mention link wrapper, extract the MXID or display name, and match the command deterministically. `@timmy status` via mention pill should produce the same pipeline status output as typing `@timmy status` manually.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-- [ ] strip_bot_mention handles Markdown link format `[display](https://matrix.to/#/@user:server) command` and extracts the command text
-- [ ] Deterministic commands (status, help, ambient, etc.) work when invoked via Element mention pill autocomplete
-- [ ] Unit tests cover the Markdown mention pill body format
-- [ ] Existing strip_bot_mention tests still pass (plain @mention and display name formats)

+# Bug 461: strip_bot_mention fails on Element markdown mention pill format
+
+## Description
+
+When Element sends a message with a mention pill, the plain text body uses Markdown link format: `[@timmy:crashlabs.io](https://matrix.to/#/@timmy:crashlabs.io) status`. The `strip_bot_mention` function in chat/util.rs uses `strip_prefix_ci` which expects the message to start with `@timmy` or the display name. Since the message starts with `[`, all prefix checks fail, the mention is not stripped, and the entire Markdown link becomes the "command name". Deterministic commands like `status`, `help`, etc. are never matched — they fall through to the LLM instead. The `mentions_bot` function works correctly because it uses `contains()` rather than prefix matching, so the bot IS triggered, but the command text extraction is broken.
+
+## How to Reproduce
+
+1. In Element, mention the bot using a mention pill: @botname status. 2. Element sends plain body as `[@bot:server](https://matrix.to/#/@bot:server) status`. 3. Observe that the bot routes to LLM instead of the deterministic status command handler.
+
+## Actual Result
+
+strip_bot_mention returns the original text unchanged. The command name is parsed as the entire Markdown link. No deterministic command matches. Message falls through to LLM.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+strip_bot_mention strips the Markdown mention pill `[...](https://matrix.to/...)` and returns `status`. The deterministic command handler matches and handles it.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] strip_bot_mention in chat/util.rs handles the Markdown mention pill format [display](https://matrix.to/#/@user:server)
+- [ ] Deterministic commands like 'status', 'help', 'overview' work when sent via Element mention pills
+- [ ] Existing plain-text mention formats (@bot:server command, @bot command, BotName command) continue to work
+- [ ] Tests added for Markdown mention pill format in util.rs
