Any link using a scheme not on that list \u2014 including links found inside tables and lists \u2014 gets marked as 'defanged,' meaning it's displayed as plain, non-interactive text instead of a clickable terminal hyperlink.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents potentially unexpected or unsafe URL schemes from being turned into clickable links in the terminal, reducing the risk of a malicious or unusual link being accidentally activated.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI Security\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
