Description

Multiline text around links and inline code loses its boundary spaces when Crowdin renders missing translations. The repair observer then competes with the renderer until the freeze-prevention guard stops repairing the text. In the announcement preview, this produces theLizardByte organization, ThemerrDB/are, and andKokoStreamTV.

Preserve the source boundary whitespace inside the translation pipeline, before i18nextify caches and renders the result. Register a postprocessor for translated strings and wrap the missing-key parser, which i18next calls after postprocessing. Preserve existing handlers, processors, arguments, return values, and initialization context.

Remove the whitespace repair observer and detached-node snapshots. Retain the deferred script loading from #359 and the code-block exclusions from #366; the fix no longer introduces a competing observer that can starve the Doxygen event loop.

Roadmap Issues

Testing

• Added regression cases for multiline boundaries before and after inline elements, translated and missing-key text, instant translations, nonbreaking spaces, tabs, punctuation, handler forwarding, and idempotent installation. Confirmed the new regression tests fail against the original implementation.
• Added a Doxygen regression asserting no whitespace MutationObserver is installed, processing does not rewrite the DOM, and platform retries terminate. Existing deferred-loading, script-failure, and code-block exclusion tests remain.
• npm run test:unit -- --runInBand: 74 tests across 7 suites passed, with 100% statements, branches, functions, and lines.
• npm run test:lint, npm run build, and git diff --check: passed.
• Additional local integration check using the live Crowdin bundle in JSDOM and the exact preview article HTML: original code reproduced all three broken joins; fixed code preserved the boundaries through repeated rerenders, a German translation, and restoration to English.
• Additional local integration check using generated Doxygen HTML and the live Crowdin renderer: five language/highlighter updates preserved preformatted and .fragment markup; DOM mutations settled and timer heartbeats ran.
• These integration checks exercised the actual renderer in JSDOM; they are not full graphical-browser performance profiling. Hosted checks are pending.
• Consumers must update their pinned shared-web version after this fix is released.

Type of Change

• feat: New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• fix: Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• docs: Documentation only changes
• style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semicolons, etc.)
• refactor: Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• perf: Code change that improves performance

• build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
• ci: Changes to CI configuration files and scripts
• chore: Other changes that don't modify src or test files
• revert: Reverts a previous commit
• BREAKING CHANGE: Introduces a breaking change (can be combined with any type above)
