Thanks for the PR, @MangelSpec! This bug is pretty weird, so thanks for the explanation of why it actually happens. I think we might be able to fix the bug in a simpler way though.
Instead of transforming the AST to remove those paragraphs, could you change it so that we remove that character from value before even passing it to parser.parse? I think that should fix the issue without requiring us to modify the AST since any extra paragraph nodes won't be added to begin with.

Also, I considered suggesting that we remove that character from a post when it's first created to avoid having to handle this every time a post is viewed, but I changed by mind on that because that would only cover post text and not anywhere else that there's user-provided text. This will cover anywhere that the |

Thanks, that makes sense. I initially tried removing the character from the Markdown input, but after testing standalone, soft-break, and inline cases, I narrowed the fix to only the structures that reproduced the error so that valid input was changed as little as possible. Since I also agree with keeping this at the rendering boundary rather than changing a post when it is stored. That covers every caller of |

- Around line 46-58: Update the Markdown tests around the Markdown component to
verify behavior rather than only the mocked Parser.parse call: add separate
cases confirming an exact object-replacement-character paragraph is removed,
while inline occurrences and occurrences adjacent to a single newline remain;
assert the rendered output or transformed AST and preserve the existing parser
mock only as supporting setup.
In `@app/components/markdown/markdown.tsx`:
- Around line 725-726: Update the markdown parsing flow around parser.parse so
sanitization removes only paragraphs whose complete content is exactly \uFFFC;
preserve inline occurrences and occurrences within soft-break paragraphs, and
avoid globally replacing the character before AST construction.
