Add an option to preserve whitespace when sorting classes

[UnknownPlatypus]

Sorting always rejoins a class run with single spaces, so a class list deliberately spread over several indented lines is flattened into one long line:

<div
  class="
-    text-white p-4
-    flex w-full
-  "
+  "flex w-full p-4 text-white"
 >

This was raised in #25, but the resolution took a more minimal approach to keep it simpler.
prettier-plugin-tailwindcss handles it by reusing the original whitespace runs positionally, the Nth separator stays the Nth separator. It's gated behind a tailwindPreserveWhitespace flag

This PR adds an equivalent opt-in preserve_whitespace flag on RustyWind (default false, existing behavior unchanged)

I did this change because running rustywind on a large template corpus led to hundreds of template churn where the new single line version is less readable. My code formater was also already preserving multilines so using rustywind defeated that.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a --preserve-whitespace option to retain original spacing and multiline formatting while sorting utility classes.
  • Duplicate classes are still removed while preserving appropriate separators and layout.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of trailing spaces and multiline output when deduplicating classes.

• Documentation

  • Documented the new option and its behavior.

• Configuration

  • Disabled by default to preserve existing output behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RustyWind adds a public preserve_whitespace option. When enabled, class sorting retains original separators and multiline layout while deduplicating classes. The CLI forwards the option, and constructors and tests set its default to false.

Changes

Whitespace preservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configuration contract and CLI wiring rustywind-core/src/app.rs, rustywind-cli/src/main.rs, rustywind-cli/src/options.rs, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, rustywind-core/CHANGELOG.md	Adds RustyWind::preserve_whitespace and the --preserve-whitespace flag. Constructors default the field to false, and CLI options forward its value. Documentation records the behavior and API change.
Whitespace-aware sorting and validation rustywind-core/src/app.rs, rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs	Preserves original separators and multiline layout during sorting, retains trailing whitespace, removes surplus separators after deduplication, and updates affected configurations and tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff352

The opt-in whitespace-preserving behavior keeps existing defaults unchanged, but adding a required field to a public Rust configuration struct may break downstream callers that construct it with struct literals and require consumer updates. This is a bounded integration risk that should remain with the owner during merge.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds positional whitespace preservation when sorting static class runs while retaining the existing single-space behavior by default.

• Adds the preserve_whitespace option to RustyWind.
• Reuses original separator slots after sorting and handles separators removed by deduplication.
• Adds multiline preservation and deduplication tests.
• Initializes the option as disabled in the CLI, but does not provide a way for CLI users to enable it.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The CLI-facing omission should be fixed before merging because command-line users currently have no way to enable the whitespace-preservation feature.

The core implementation preserves separators when explicitly enabled, but the sole CLI construction path always disables the option and the CLI parser exposes no corresponding input.

Files Needing Attention: rustywind-cli/src/options.rs and rustywind-cli/src/main.rs

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
rustywind-core/src/app.rs	Adds the opt-in separator-interleaving implementation, defaults, and focused tests; the core static-class path is internally consistent.
rustywind-cli/src/options.rs	Initializes preserve_whitespace to false without wiring any CLI or configuration input, making the feature unreachable from the CLI.
rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs	Updates existing RustyWind literals for the new field without changing prefix-test behavior.
