+# Generated index readability and focus treatment
+
+## Decision
+
+The generated `index.html` page is html4tree's primary user-facing artifact. Its embedded stylesheet therefore applies the following bounded presentation contract without changing file discovery, ordering, escaping, URLs, filesystem access, or the Content Security Policy mechanism:
+
+- adjacent list rows are separated with `li + li`, so the first row has no unnecessary leading line and no special last-row override is required;
+- the empty-directory status uses explicit foreground colors in light and dark color schemes instead of inherited color plus opacity;
+- hover and keyboard-focus states underline only the link's textual span, while the existing two-CSS-pixel outline continues to surround the complete interactive target;
+- reduced-motion behavior remains unchanged; and
+- dark-mode overrides appear after their corresponding base declarations so the cascade is deterministic.
+
+The empty-directory information icon remains decorative, is hidden from assistive technology with `aria-hidden="true"`, and stays inside the existing `role="status"` container. No new emoji is selected solely for visual appearance.
+
+## Accessibility engineering basis
+
+WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 requires at least 4.5:1 contrast for ordinary text. Success Criterion 2.4.13, which is Level AAA, describes a keyboard focus indicator area at least as large as a two-CSS-pixel perimeter and a focused-versus-unfocused contrast change of at least 3:1. The W3C Understanding documents explain these criteria but are informative rather than normative.
+
+html4tree retains a solid two-CSS-pixel outline around the full link. The engineering tests calculate the following sRGB relative-luminance ratios from the authored CSS colors:
+
+| Surface | Foreground or indicator | Background | Calculated ratio | Engineering threshold |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Empty-state text, light | `#656d76` | `#ffffff` | 5.2469:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| Empty-state text, dark | `#8b949e` | `#0d1117` | 6.1527:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| Focus outline, light hover/focus surface | `#0969da` | `#f6f8fa` | 4.8771:1 | 3:1 |
+| Focus outline, dark hover/focus surface | `#58a6ff` | `#161b22` | 6.8480:1 | 3:1 |
+
+These deterministic source-level checks are regression evidence, not a declaration of formal WCAG conformance. Browser rendering, anti-aliasing, zoom, forced colors, operating-system settings, extensions, and assistive-technology behavior still require representative manual and browser-based evaluation. The subtle row separator is a readability aid; this decision does not claim that the separator itself satisfies every possible WCAG non-text-contrast interpretation.
+
+## Verification contract
+
+`GeneratedIndexReadabilityTest` exercises the real generated page and verifies:
+
+1. parent, first, middle, and last rows preserve the established output order;
+2. an empty directory emits exactly one semantic status row;
+3. adjacent-row separators do not rely on a trailing-border exception;
+4. empty-state text uses explicit light and dark colors and no opacity declaration;
+5. dark-mode declarations follow their base declarations;
+6. hover and `:focus-visible` underline only the textual span while preserving the full-target outline;
+7. reduced-motion styling remains present; and
+8. the authored text and focus colors meet the documented numeric thresholds.
+
+`CspHashTest` independently recomputes the digest from the exact emitted `<style>` bytes. Any CSS change must continue to preserve the single-source `CSS_CONTENT` and `STYLE_HASH` byte-identity contract rather than weakening CSP with `unsafe-inline`, a broader source expression, or a duplicated stylesheet fixture.

 ## 2024-07-13 - 빈 디렉토리 상태의 접근성(Accessibility) 개선
 **Learning:** 정적 파일 서버의 빈 디렉토리 상태는 스크린 리더 사용자에게 컨텐츠 누락으로 오해받을 수 있으며, 시각적으로도 일반 리스트 아이템과 정렬이 맞지 않는 문제가 있었습니다.
 **Action:** 빈 상태를 나타내는 요소에 `role="status"`를 추가하여 스크린 리더가 명확하게 인지할 수 있도록 하고, 아이콘과 flex 레이아웃을 통해 다른 리스트 아이템과 일관된 시각적 흐름을 제공하도록 합니다.

+## 2024-08-04 - 아이콘과 텍스트가 함께 있는 링크의 Hover 상태 시각적 개선
+**학습:** 아이콘과 텍스트를 모두 포함하는 `<a>` 태그 전체에 `text-decoration: underline`을 적용하면 장식용 아이콘 아래에도 밑줄이 표시되어 시각적으로 깔끔하지 못한 UI(시각적 계층 불일치)가 발생합니다.
+**조치:** `:hover` 및 `:focus-visible` 상태에서 전체 `<a>` 블록에 밑줄을 적용하는 대신, 텍스트가 포함된 내부 `span:not(.icon)`에만 선택적으로 `text-decoration: underline`을 적용하여 아이콘 아래의 불필요한 밑줄을 제거하십시오.

 **Vulnerability:** 정적 HTML 생성 도구에서 매번 다른 Nonce를 동적으로 생성하여 CSP에 적용하는 것은, 캐싱 효율을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 정적 배포 환경(예: GitHub Pages 등)에서 올바른 보안 정책 수립을 방해할 수 있는 안티 패턴입니다.
 **Learning:** 정적으로 고정된 인라인 스타일이나 스크립트에는 난수화된 Nonce보다 콘텐츠 자체의 해시(SHA-256 등)를 사용하는 것이 안전하고 일관된 방식임을 배웠습니다.
 **Prevention:** 자동 생성되는 정적 HTML의 콘텐츠 보안 정책(CSP)에는 `style-src 'sha256-<HASH>'` 방식을 적용하고, `<style>` 태그에서 불필요한 `nonce` 속성을 제거하여 브라우저의 무결성 검증 기능을 적극 활용하십시오.

-## 2026-08-05 - [html4tree] CSP Hash 무효화 방지를 위한 인라인 스타일 여백 제거
-**Vulnerability:** CSP 해시 불일치로 인한 인라인 스타일 차단
-**Learning:** 브라우저는 인라인 스크립트와 스타일의 내부 텍스트(공백과 줄바꿈 포함)를 정확하게 해싱하여 Content-Security-Policy(CSP) 해시와 비교합니다. Kotlin의 멀티라인 문자열(`"""`)을 사용하여 템플릿에 콘텐츠를 주입할 때 암묵적인 여백이나 줄바꿈이 추가되면 최종 HTML 문자열이 변경되어 CSP 해시가 무효화됩니다.
-**Prevention:** 콘텐츠를 해싱하기 전에 `.trimIndent()`를 적용하여 원본 문자열을 정규화하고, HTML 템플릿에 주입할 때 `<style>${exactContent}</style>`와 같이 공백 없이 주입하여 해시가 완벽하게 일치하도록 해야 합니다.

-# Inline style CSP byte-identity contract
-
-## Decision
-
-html4tree emits one inline `<style>` block in every generated `index.html` file.
-The stylesheet is normalized once, encoded as UTF-8, and hashed with SHA-256.
-The exact same normalized string is then inserted between the `<style>` tags.
-Template indentation, leading newlines, and trailing newlines are not added to the
-hashed source.
-
-This is a byte-identity requirement rather than a merely visual CSS-equivalence
-requirement. Whitespace and capitalization changes can preserve CSS rendering
-semantics while changing the Content Security Policy hash.
-
-## Threat and failure model
-
-The generated document uses a restrictive policy with `default-src 'none'` and a
-single `style-src` hash-source. If the declared digest does not match the exact
-inline style bytes, a conforming user agent blocks the stylesheet. The result is
-an availability and integrity failure: users receive an unstyled directory index
-and may lose focus, contrast, or reduced-motion behavior that the stylesheet was
-intended to provide.
-
-The fix does not add `unsafe-inline`, a nonce, a network stylesheet, or a broader
-source expression. It also does not treat CSP as a substitute for HTML escaping,
-path validation, or filesystem access controls.
-
-## Standards interpretation
-
-Content Security Policy Level 3 defines hash matching by UTF-8 encoding the
-inline source, applying the selected digest algorithm, Base64-encoding the digest,
-and comparing it with the hash-source value. Inline style is blocked when the
-source list does not authorize the exact block. Therefore the implementation must
-hash the style element's text content, excluding the `<style>` start and end tags,
-without relying on CSS-equivalent normalization by the browser.
-
-The cited CSP Level 3 document is a W3C Working Draft and may change. This project
-uses its current matching algorithm as an engineering contract and makes no claim
-of formal W3C conformance.
-
-## Verification contract
-
-`CspHashTest.emittedStyleBytesMatchTheDeclaredCspHash` performs a product-level
-round trip:
-
-1. create a real temporary directory;
-2. generate its `index.html` through `process_dir`;
-3. extract the emitted style text and declared SHA-256 source expression;
-4. assert that the emitted style has no template padding;
-5. hash the exact UTF-8 style text independently; and
-6. require byte-for-byte digest equality.
-
-The repository build additionally enforces the existing JaCoCo coverage threshold,
-CI tests, SAST, and security checks on the exact pull-request head.

-# Generated index readability and focus treatment
-
-## Decision
-
-The generated `index.html` page is html4tree's primary user-facing artifact. Its embedded stylesheet therefore applies the following bounded presentation contract without changing file discovery, ordering, escaping, URLs, filesystem access, or the Content Security Policy mechanism:
-
-- adjacent list rows are separated with `li + li`, so the first row has no unnecessary leading line and no special last-row override is required;
-- the empty-directory status uses explicit foreground colors in light and dark color schemes instead of inherited color plus opacity;
-- hover and keyboard-focus states underline only the link's textual span, while the existing two-CSS-pixel outline continues to surround the complete interactive target;
-- reduced-motion behavior remains unchanged; and
-- dark-mode overrides appear after their corresponding base declarations so the cascade is deterministic.
-
-The empty-directory information icon remains decorative, is hidden from assistive technology with `aria-hidden="true"`, and stays inside the existing `role="status"` container. No new emoji is selected solely for visual appearance.
-
-## Accessibility engineering basis
-
-WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 requires at least 4.5:1 contrast for ordinary text. Success Criterion 2.4.13, which is Level AAA, describes a keyboard focus indicator area at least as large as a two-CSS-pixel perimeter and a focused-versus-unfocused contrast change of at least 3:1. The W3C Understanding documents explain these criteria but are informative rather than normative.
-
-html4tree retains a solid two-CSS-pixel outline around the full link. The engineering tests calculate the following sRGB relative-luminance ratios from the authored CSS colors:
-
-| Surface | Foreground or indicator | Background | Calculated ratio | Engineering threshold |
-| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
-| Empty-state text, light | `#656d76` | `#ffffff` | 5.2469:1 | 4.5:1 |
-| Empty-state text, dark | `#8b949e` | `#0d1117` | 6.1527:1 | 4.5:1 |
-| Focus outline, light hover/focus surface | `#0969da` | `#f6f8fa` | 4.8771:1 | 3:1 |
-| Focus outline, dark hover/focus surface | `#58a6ff` | `#161b22` | 6.8480:1 | 3:1 |
-
-These deterministic source-level checks are regression evidence, not a declaration of formal WCAG conformance. Browser rendering, anti-aliasing, zoom, forced colors, operating-system settings, extensions, and assistive-technology behavior still require representative manual and browser-based evaluation. The subtle row separator is a readability aid; this decision does not claim that the separator itself satisfies every possible WCAG non-text-contrast interpretation.
-
-## Verification contract
-
-`GeneratedIndexReadabilityTest` exercises the real generated page and verifies:
-
-1. parent, first, middle, and last rows preserve the established output order;
-2. an empty directory emits exactly one semantic status row;
-3. adjacent-row separators do not rely on a trailing-border exception;
-4. empty-state text uses explicit light and dark colors and no opacity declaration;
-5. dark-mode declarations follow their base declarations;
-6. hover and `:focus-visible` underline only the textual span while preserving the full-target outline;
-7. reduced-motion styling remains present; and
-8. the authored text and focus colors meet the documented numeric thresholds.
-
-`CspHashTest` independently recomputes the digest from the exact emitted `<style>` bytes. Any CSS change must continue to preserve the single-source `CSS_CONTENT` and `STYLE_HASH` byte-identity contract rather than weakening CSP with `unsafe-inline`, a broader source expression, or a duplicated stylesheet fixture.

 ## 2024-07-13 - 빈 디렉토리 상태의 접근성(Accessibility) 개선
 **Learning:** 정적 파일 서버의 빈 디렉토리 상태는 스크린 리더 사용자에게 컨텐츠 누락으로 오해받을 수 있으며, 시각적으로도 일반 리스트 아이템과 정렬이 맞지 않는 문제가 있었습니다.
 **Action:** 빈 상태를 나타내는 요소에 `role="status"`를 추가하여 스크린 리더가 명확하게 인지할 수 있도록 하고, 아이콘과 flex 레이아웃을 통해 다른 리스트 아이템과 일관된 시각적 흐름을 제공하도록 합니다.

-## 2024-08-04 - 아이콘과 텍스트가 함께 있는 링크의 Hover 상태 시각적 개선
-**학습:** 아이콘과 텍스트를 모두 포함하는 `<a>` 태그 전체에 `text-decoration: underline`을 적용하면 장식용 아이콘 아래에도 밑줄이 표시되어 시각적으로 깔끔하지 못한 UI(시각적 계층 불일치)가 발생합니다.
-**조치:** `:hover` 및 `:focus-visible` 상태에서 전체 `<a>` 블록에 밑줄을 적용하는 대신, 텍스트가 포함된 내부 `span:not(.icon)`에만 선택적으로 `text-decoration: underline`을 적용하여 아이콘 아래의 불필요한 밑줄을 제거하십시오.

 **Vulnerability:** 정적 HTML 생성 도구에서 매번 다른 Nonce를 동적으로 생성하여 CSP에 적용하는 것은, 캐싱 효율을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 정적 배포 환경(예: GitHub Pages 등)에서 올바른 보안 정책 수립을 방해할 수 있는 안티 패턴입니다.
 **Learning:** 정적으로 고정된 인라인 스타일이나 스크립트에는 난수화된 Nonce보다 콘텐츠 자체의 해시(SHA-256 등)를 사용하는 것이 안전하고 일관된 방식임을 배웠습니다.
 **Prevention:** 자동 생성되는 정적 HTML의 콘텐츠 보안 정책(CSP)에는 `style-src 'sha256-<HASH>'` 방식을 적용하고, `<style>` 태그에서 불필요한 `nonce` 속성을 제거하여 브라우저의 무결성 검증 기능을 적극 활용하십시오.

+## 2026-08-05 - [html4tree] CSP Hash 무효화 방지를 위한 인라인 스타일 여백 제거
+**Vulnerability:** CSP 해시 불일치로 인한 인라인 스타일 차단
+**Learning:** 브라우저는 인라인 스크립트와 스타일의 내부 텍스트(공백과 줄바꿈 포함)를 정확하게 해싱하여 Content-Security-Policy(CSP) 해시와 비교합니다. Kotlin의 멀티라인 문자열(`"""`)을 사용하여 템플릿에 콘텐츠를 주입할 때 암묵적인 여백이나 줄바꿈이 추가되면 최종 HTML 문자열이 변경되어 CSP 해시가 무효화됩니다.
+**Prevention:** 콘텐츠를 해싱하기 전에 `.trimIndent()`를 적용하여 원본 문자열을 정규화하고, HTML 템플릿에 주입할 때 `<style>${exactContent}</style>`와 같이 공백 없이 주입하여 해시가 완벽하게 일치하도록 해야 합니다.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Changed
+
+- Improve generated directory-index readability with adjacent-row separators,
+  explicit light and dark empty-state text colors, and text-only hover/focus
+  underlining while retaining the full interactive target's focus outline.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Generate the inline-style Content Security Policy SHA-256 source expression
+  from the exact normalized UTF-8 stylesheet bytes emitted into each generated
+  `index.html` file, preventing template whitespace from invalidating the policy.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Add a real generated-file regression test that independently recomputes the
+  declared style hash from the emitted `<style>` text.

+# Inline style CSP byte-identity contract
+
+## Decision
+
+html4tree emits one inline `<style>` block in every generated `index.html` file.
+The stylesheet is normalized once, encoded as UTF-8, and hashed with SHA-256.
+The exact same normalized string is then inserted between the `<style>` tags.
+Template indentation, leading newlines, and trailing newlines are not added to the
+hashed source.
+
+This is a byte-identity requirement rather than a merely visual CSS-equivalence
+requirement. Whitespace and capitalization changes can preserve CSS rendering
+semantics while changing the Content Security Policy hash.
+
+## Threat and failure model
+
+The generated document uses a restrictive policy with `default-src 'none'` and a
+single `style-src` hash-source. If the declared digest does not match the exact
+inline style bytes, a conforming user agent blocks the stylesheet. The result is
+an availability and integrity failure: users receive an unstyled directory index
+and may lose focus, contrast, or reduced-motion behavior that the stylesheet was
+intended to provide.
+
+The fix does not add `unsafe-inline`, a nonce, a network stylesheet, or a broader
+source expression. It also does not treat CSP as a substitute for HTML escaping,
+path validation, or filesystem access controls.
+
+## Standards interpretation
+
+Content Security Policy Level 3 defines hash matching by UTF-8 encoding the
+inline source, applying the selected digest algorithm, Base64-encoding the digest,
+and comparing it with the hash-source value. Inline style is blocked when the
+source list does not authorize the exact block. Therefore the implementation must
+hash the style element's text content, excluding the `<style>` start and end tags,
+without relying on CSS-equivalent normalization by the browser.
+
+The cited CSP Level 3 document is a W3C Working Draft and may change. This project
+uses its current matching algorithm as an engineering contract and makes no claim
+of formal W3C conformance.
+
+## Verification contract
+
+`CspHashTest.emittedStyleBytesMatchTheDeclaredCspHash` performs a product-level
+round trip:
+
+1. create a real temporary directory;
+2. generate its `index.html` through `process_dir`;
+3. extract the emitted style text and declared SHA-256 source expression;
+4. assert that the emitted style has no template padding;
+5. hash the exact UTF-8 style text independently; and
+6. require byte-for-byte digest equality.
+
+The repository build additionally enforces the existing JaCoCo coverage threshold,
+CI tests, SAST, and security checks on the exact pull-request head.

+# Generated index readability and focus treatment
+
+## Decision
+
+The generated `index.html` page is html4tree's primary user-facing artifact. Its embedded stylesheet therefore applies the following bounded presentation contract without changing file discovery, ordering, escaping, URLs, filesystem access, or the Content Security Policy mechanism:
+
+- adjacent list rows are separated with `li + li`, so the first row has no unnecessary leading line and no special last-row override is required;
+- the empty-directory status uses explicit foreground colors in light and dark color schemes instead of inherited color plus opacity;
+- hover and keyboard-focus states underline only the link's textual span, while the existing two-CSS-pixel outline continues to surround the complete interactive target;
+- reduced-motion behavior remains unchanged; and
+- dark-mode overrides appear after their corresponding base declarations so the cascade is deterministic.
+
+The empty-directory information icon remains decorative, is hidden from assistive technology with `aria-hidden="true"`, and stays inside the existing `role="status"` container. No new emoji is selected solely for visual appearance.
+
+## Accessibility engineering basis
+
+WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 requires at least 4.5:1 contrast for ordinary text. Success Criterion 2.4.13, which is Level AAA, describes a keyboard focus indicator area at least as large as a two-CSS-pixel perimeter and a focused-versus-unfocused contrast change of at least 3:1. The W3C Understanding documents explain these criteria but are informative rather than normative.
+
+html4tree retains a solid two-CSS-pixel outline around the full link. The engineering tests calculate the following sRGB relative-luminance ratios from the authored CSS colors:
+
+| Surface | Foreground or indicator | Background | Calculated ratio | Engineering threshold |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Empty-state text, light | `#656d76` | `#ffffff` | 5.2469:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| Empty-state text, dark | `#8b949e` | `#0d1117` | 6.1527:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| Focus outline, light hover/focus surface | `#0969da` | `#f6f8fa` | 4.8771:1 | 3:1 |
+| Focus outline, dark hover/focus surface | `#58a6ff` | `#161b22` | 6.8480:1 | 3:1 |
+
+These deterministic source-level checks are regression evidence, not a declaration of formal WCAG conformance. Browser rendering, anti-aliasing, zoom, forced colors, operating-system settings, extensions, and assistive-technology behavior still require representative manual and browser-based evaluation. The subtle row separator is a readability aid; this decision does not claim that the separator itself satisfies every possible WCAG non-text-contrast interpretation.
+
+## Verification contract
+
+`GeneratedIndexReadabilityTest` exercises the real generated page and verifies:
+
+1. parent, first, middle, and last rows preserve the established output order;
+2. an empty directory emits exactly one semantic status row;
+3. adjacent-row separators do not rely on a trailing-border exception;
+4. empty-state text uses explicit light and dark colors and no opacity declaration;
+5. dark-mode declarations follow their base declarations;
+6. hover and `:focus-visible` underline only the textual span while preserving the full-target outline;
+7. reduced-motion styling remains present; and
+8. the authored text and focus colors meet the documented numeric thresholds.
+
+`CspHashTest` independently recomputes the digest from the exact emitted `<style>` bytes. Any CSS change must continue to preserve the single-source `CSS_CONTENT` and `STYLE_HASH` byte-identity contract rather than weakening CSP with `unsafe-inline`, a broader source expression, or a duplicated stylesheet fixture.
