Summary

• Preserve whitespace-only inline code spans with three or more spaces when exporting a Todo file to Markdown.
• Add a regression that renders the exported Markdown and checks the spaces survive.

Verification

• npm test — passed (428 tests); the new test failed on untouched develop before the fix.
• npm run compile — passed.
• npm run typecheck — passed.
• npm run format:check — passed.
• git diff --check — passed.

Risk

• Low: changes only Markdown rendering for whitespace-only inline code spans.

Reviewed and fixed the spaces-only export behavior. The original patch compensated for markdown-it 14.1.0 trimming all-space spans, but CommonMark preserves those spaces, so adding padding would introduce two unwanted spaces in compliant renderers. The exporter now uses its existing inline-HTML convention for empty and spaces-only code spans, preserving the exact content across both behaviors.

Expanded the regression to cover one, two, three, four, and eight spaces. It failed before the correction and passes afterward. Validation passed: typecheck, all 428 tests, webpack development build, format check, and git diff whitespace check. Two unchanged issue templates needed working-tree LF normalization after switching from master; that produced no committed content changes.
