🐛 Bug fixes

Preserve original file encoding (non-Unicode / Windows-1251) — #62
Files encoded in a non-Unicode codepage (e.g. Windows-1251 Cyrillic) were being read and rewritten as UTF-8, corrupting every non-ASCII character into  �  replacement characters. The minifier now detects the source encoding — via a byte-order mark, then a    declaration, falling back to UTF-8 — and writes the file back in that same encoding, preserving any BOM. Encoding detection lives in the new  EncodingHelper  class.

Preserve significant whitespace between adjacent inline elements — #59
A space between two inline elements (for example, two links:    ) is visible and meaningful, but was being stripped, gluing the elements together ( https://a.infohttps://b.de ). Whitespace directly between a closing inline tag and an opening inline tag ( a ,  span ,  b ,  i ,  em ,  strong ,  code ,  label , and other inline elements) is now collapsed to a single space instead of being removed. Whitespace at block↔inline boundaries is unchanged.

✅ Notes

• No breaking changes or new CLI flags.
• Full test suite green (83 tests), including new regression tests  GithubIssue62_ShouldReturnCorrectly  and  GithubIssue59_ShouldReturnCorrectly .

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Issue #47 — Fixed false-positive JS comment stripping: regex literals containing // (e.g. ///g) were incorrectly treated as line comments and removed
• Issue #30 — Fixed downlevel-revealed IE conditional comments being stripped: \n\n is now fully preserved
• Issue #38 — Fixed handling of edge cases in HTML structure

🛡️ Safety & Correctness

• textarea and code whitespace protection — content inside these tags is now preserved exactly, matching the existing pre tag behaviour
  Attribute whitespace normalisation — excess whitespace inside attribute values (e.g. class=" foo bar ") is trimmed to single spaces

⚡ Performance & CLI

• Parallel file processing — multiple files/folders are now processed in parallel for significantly faster batch runs
• --version and --help flags — new CLI options for quick reference
• Improved console reporting — output now shows bytes saved per file and total savings across a run

🧪 Tests

• Added regression tests for issues #47, #30, #49 (Dictionary Razor model), textarea/code protection, attribute normalisation, edge cases, and performance benchmarks
• 81 tests passing
