## Issues Found

### Issue #1: Missing Escape Key Handler (MEDIUM SEVERITY)
**File**: `packages/ui/src/components/Modals/HelpModal.tsx`
**Lines**: N/A (missing functionality)
**Problem**: No keyboard listener for Escape key to close modal
**Expected**: Pressing Escape should close the modal (per test scenario #9)
**Current**: Only X button closes modal

**Fix Required**:
```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  const handleEscape = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
    if (e.key === 'Escape') onClose();
  };
  if (isOpen) {
    window.addEventListener('keydown', handleEscape);
    return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', handleEscape);
  }
}, [isOpen, onClose]);
```

### Issue #2: Table Rendering Bug (HIGH SEVERITY)
**File**: `packages/ui/src/components/Modals/HelpModal.tsx`
**Lines**: 264-294 (final table rendering block)
**Problem**: Inline code formatting in tables not working
**Impact**: Keyboard shortcuts table (help-content.ts:802-833) will show `` `Enter` `` instead of formatted code

**Details**:
- Main table renderer (lines 128-140) uses `renderInlineFormatting(cell)`
- Final table renderer (lines 273-286) uses raw `{cell}`
- Inconsistency causes markdown to render unformatted

**Fix Required**: Line 275 and 284 should use `renderInlineFormatting(cell)` instead of `{cell}`

### Issue #3: Redundant Keyboard Check (LOW SEVERITY)
**File**: `packages/ui/src/components/Layout/Header.tsx`
**Line**: 35
**Problem**: `e.key === '?' || (e.shiftKey && e.key === '/')` is redundant
**Explanation**: On most keyboards, Shift+/ produces '?' as e.key value, so second check is unnecessary
**Impact**: None (works correctly, just redundant)

## Test Plan

### Phase 1: Visual Verification
1. Open http://localhost:3031
2. Click Help button (HelpCircle icon)
3. Verify modal opens full-screen
4. Verify 8 categories in sidebar
5. Verify search box at top

### Phase 2: Navigation Testing
- Click each category → verify content updates
- Search "branch" → verify results appear
- Click search result → verify scroll-to-section
- Verify highlighting of selected section

### Phase 3: Content Rendering
**CRITICAL**: Check keyboard shortcuts table for inline code formatting
- Navigate to "Keyboard Shortcuts" category
- Look at "Shortcuts Reference" section
- **Expected**: Code like `Enter`, `Space`, `?` in styled boxes
- **Bug**: Will show raw backticks if final table bug exists

### Phase 4: Keyboard Interactions
- Press `?` key → verify modal opens
- Type in search box → press `?` → verify modal DOESN'T open (input protection)
- Press Escape → **BUG: Won't close** (missing handler)

### Phase 5: Regression
- Verify Header still shows all other buttons
- Verify plan canvas still renders
- Verify no console errors

## Browser Testing Limitation
Playwright MCP not available - manual testing required or use browser automation via mcp__playwright tools.

## Recommendations

### Must Fix Before Merge
1. **HIGH**: Add `renderInlineFormatting()` to final table renderer (Issue #2)
2. **MEDIUM**: Add Escape key handler (Issue #1)

### Optional
3. **LOW**: Clean up redundant keyboard check (Issue #3)
