CRLF Test Failure

Line-ending behavior can create false failures when tests assume one platform’s newline convention.

Windows and Unix environments may produce different line endings. Tests that compare raw text should normalize where the product contract does not require a specific newline form.

  • Normalize line endings in tests when line-ending style is not the feature.
  • Keep fixture files consistent.
  • Avoid hiding meaningful whitespace differences behind broad normalization.

Apply this lesson to generated board content checks and any source-history parsing that reads Markdown from multiple environments.
