Research direction
Start with src/main/java/org/springframework/hateoas/Link.java around line 536 and inspect the referenced String comparison in context. Check the surrounding tests and Java's reference-versus-content comparison behavior. Done requires a maintainer-approved decision on whether the comparison should change or its purpose should be documented, followed by corresponding tests.
