When it builds a summary, it now replaces any run of spaces, line breaks or invisible control characters with a single space. Before, it did this only for spaces and line breaks.\n\n**Why**\n\nControl characters are hidden characters that can scramble or disguise what a terminal shows. Removing them keeps a command's summary on one readable line and shows it as it really is."}
