Subject: [PATCH] fix(tui): keep non-blockquoted markdown fences with
 blockquote table examples

Strip blockquote prefixes during table detection only when the fence
itself is inside a blockquote, preventing false unwrapping of fences
that contain blockquoted table examples as illustration content.
