Bug A block of unformated text is printed at the top:
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this text and the lack of formatting makes it difficult to read. Could be a good point to provide some hints to the user, similar to VS Code new untitled file experience

Yeah, not only is the formatting off (though that feels like a general markdown block issue that we need to resolve, not just specific to this area) but I don't think this block is really actionable or informative to the user. 99% of the useful info in this block is covered just by seeing the selected Controller.
I don't think that we care about a user typing 'credits' or the Python date. There might be some value in seeing in the history where you changed the controller or restarted it, but it wouldn't need this entire block to convey that, and I'm dubious of that being a big use case just in general.
With regards to the formatting was it just the text formatting of the markdown block the issue? I see that, but even if the text was formatted it feels a bit like the blocks of text are just drifting in a bit of empty space here (example with info text block, then code + output, then markdown block).
