This runs in the renderer for everyone.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Wrapping re-runs its style-merging pass before splitting, so colours survive the split points.\n- A line that still overflows after wrapping is truncated with an ellipsis that carries the last style in the line.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`function EGl(e)`\n\n- Area: Terminal Rendering\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
