Yes, that's the solution, the parenthesis should be escaped. Seems pretty easy to add a regex statement to the code, but I haven't worked with the steemit github so I don't know. I don't have a github account and haven't programmed as part of a team in years; I prefer going solo.
I've been following your journey. I read about the Semax and looked it up, interesting. I'll look up Bromantane. I'm thinking of taking something and might go with Elysium which is a supplement rather than a drug.
Glad to see that you are still here. I wish you the best with your health and programming adventures!
Looks like this is now a known issue, so we'll see what happens!
