 * 🌿 Switch underlying markdown implementation to a parser based on commonmark-java
 
    This upgrades `nextjournal/markdown` library to `{:mvn/version 0.6.157}` switching markdown parsing from `markdown-it` via GraalJS to `commonmark-java` yielding an ~10x performance improvement. Restores compatibility with Java 22 or later ([#642](https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk/issues/642)).
 
 * ⚡️ Render REPL
 
-    For interactive development of `:render-fn`s, Clerk comes with a Render nREPL server. To enable it, pass the `:render-nrepl` option to `serve!`. You can change the default port `1339` by passing a different `:port` number.

     * flattening the error hierarchy by not catching and rethrowing eval errors
     * not having the whole doc on the exception again which doesn't help and looks strange when custom viewers are used
