Bug Description

Discord does not natively support markdown tables. When Hermes outputs a markdown table (common in data summaries, pricing info, model comparisons, etc.), the raw pipe characters render as garbage text instead of a formatted table.

Discord does render triple-backtick code blocks correctly, so wrapping tables in ``` fences produces readable output.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ask Hermes (via Discord) any question that produces a markdown table in the response
  2. Observe that pipe characters render as raw text, not as a table

Expected Behavior

Markdown tables in agent responses should be auto-wrapped in triple-backtick code fences when the message is being sent to Discord, so they render legibly.

Actual Behavior

Raw pipe characters and table syntax are sent as-is and render as unreadable garbage.

Proposed Fix

The format_message method in gateway/platforms/discord.py (currently a no-op passthrough) should detect markdown table patterns and wrap them in ``` code fences.

Environment

  • Platform: Discord gateway
  • Hermes version: current
