The analyzer's "Run Analysis" panel rendered sample cells via st.dataframe,
which (a) silently collapses leading/trailing ASCII whitespace and (b)
displays NBSP/ZWSP/control chars as nothing. The user couldn't see the
exact pollution they were being told about.
visualize_hidden_html gains a mark_outer_whitespace=True option that
wraps each leading and trailing ASCII space/tab in its own badge with a
"SP LEAD" / "SP TRAIL" tooltip. The badges are per-character so the
user can count exactly how much padding the cleaner will strip.
components.render_findings_panel now:
- injects hidden_char_css() once at the top of the panel
- replaces st.dataframe(samples) with a custom HTML table
- renders the value column with mark_outer_whitespace=True
- applies white-space: pre-wrap on value cells so any internal ASCII
whitespace also stays visible (browsers collapse runs by default)
Four new tests cover: leading+trailing badge counts, default-off
behaviour, leading tab badge, all-whitespace string treated entirely
as leading.
