Quit Markdown Preview before removing the app. Otherwise, a running copy survives uninstall/reinstall, and opening the replacement just activates the old process. Its Quick Look extension stays unregistered until the app is fully quit and launched again.
Tested on macOS 26.6.2 with the patched cask installed: both uninstall/install and reinstall quit the old process, and a fresh launch registered the replacement extension. Existing installations can still use their previously saved uninstall instructions on the first reinstall.
