Maybe an edge case, but playing around with this I notice that if I create an ordered list at the same level directly after an unordered list, the preview displays it as an unordered list. This doesn't seem to happen if there is a separator between the two or if the ordered list is indented. Is this expected behavior or is it worthy of an issue?

Sometimes my attempts at humor are, uh, odd

I have lived with many cats. Most were normal but one, when he was a kitten, could drop a deuce that would clear out a football stadium. Eye-watering bad. Etch the window glass bad. On top of that, he didn’t know how to cover his stuff. Raked the sides of the box, the wall next to the box, the floor outside the box, you name it, but never got near the actual poop. So it just sat there steaming until someone else went over to cover it for him or scoop.

Our vet told us it was related to diet and gut biome, and that he would probably grow out of it. We despaired for a while but he was right and eventually it got better. He’s about twelve years old now (the cat, not the vet) and still stinky but not nearly as bad as he used to be. Still hasn’t figured out how to cover his stuff though.

I used to calibrate industrial gas detectors. They generally have an active air sampling path with a pump and a sensor in the gas flow path, and we would calibrate them by flooding the sensor chamber with a test gas at a known concentration. For the type of sensor you have none of those conditions exist (no controlled gas flow path and no pump) so there is essentially no way you can accurately test their response. You essentially have to trust the manufacturer to have made a good product. The one thing you can do is look for an install date and (hopefully) an expiration date, if you can inspect the back of the detector without setting off any central alarm system. If you really don’t trust the owner’s sensors, you can always buy and use your own. Just make sure you place them carefully according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Also, your detectors are probably combo smoke/CO, but not natural gas. You would smell the odorant in the gas long before the concentration becomes dangerous so a detector would be redundant.
