Quoted attribute values currently retain escaped line breaks in their decoded value. Reading and assigning that value changes the selector's meaning: [title="a followed by a backslash, newline, and b"] matches title="ab", but the rewritten selector matches a value containing a newline.

Consume LF, CRLF, CR, and form-feed continuations when decoding quoted attribute strings, as specified by CSS string tokenization and input preprocessing. Keep original raw text for unchanged selectors. Add tests for both quote styles, value rewriting, escaped backslashes, and ordinary/hexadecimal escapes; correct the existing newline expectation to the decoded CSS value.

Validation on Node 24.18.1:

• Pristine base: all 897 tests pass. With the revised regression tests and original implementation, 10 of 174 selected tests fail.
• Fixed npm test: all 921 tests pass, including lint, declaration typecheck, build, and coverage thresholds (95.14% lines, 95.70% branches, 97.74% functions). Lint reports the same two pre-existing warnings in exceptions.mjs.
• Eight native Chrome 155 checks confirm that both the original and rewritten selectors match title="ab", across both quote styles and all four newline encodings.
• Changed-file formatting with repository-requested oxfmt 0.74.0 and git diff --check pass. Existing TypeScript 5.9.3, oxlint 1.78.0, and PostCSS 8.5.28 installations were reused; dependencies and lockfiles are unchanged.

AI assistance was used to investigate, implement, and test this change.

Thanks, this looks complete from here: the change matches CSS Syntax Level 3, and the Chrome 155 checks across both quote styles and all four newline encodings are exactly the evidence I wanted.

It is still marked as a draft, and your description does not say what is left. If you consider it finished, could you mark it ready for review? I would like it in 7.2.0, which is the right window since it changes the decoded value for selectors containing a continuation.

If something is still pending on your side, tell me what and I will wait.
