What

render_text_pre (src/build.rs:1028) splits on \n without dropping the trailing terminator or \r.

• a 403-line file ending in \n renders 404 numbered lines (last one empty) while the toolbar says “403 lines”
• CRLF files keep \r in the output and also get the phantom line

Reproduced

wc -l src/highlight.rs                     # 403
grep -o 'id="L[0-9]*"' dist/files/src/highlight.rs.html | tail -1   # L404

Impact

Visible off-by-one gutter and anchor; copy-paste on CRLF files carries stray CR.

Fix

Normalize \r\n/\r to \n, strip one trailing \n, then split. Keep the empty-file special case. Test a trailing-newline file and a CRLF file for exact line count and no empty last line.
