New Markdown Editor in VS Code!

Kayla Cinnamon walks through VS Code’s updated Markdown editing workflow, including side-by-side preview with live updates and a new editor that lets you edit directly in the preview while the Markdown syntax updates in real time. She also shows handing Markdown cleanup to an agent using an isolated worktree.
