From 0527edf82c886f94cd7d6ec61b817bff8634c860 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toddr Bot Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:16:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add failing tests for clone + location (issue #80) line_number and column_number return undef on cloned elements because location data is not preserved through the clone operation. Tests are marked TODO until the fix is applied.

This fixes line_number and column_number returning undef on cloned elements (issue #80). Document::normalized flushes locations on the clone before normalizing, since location cache is positional data that should not affect semantic comparison.
