A report can also include the branch it was based on and that stop reason.\n\n- Message text width: one kind of rendered message block now caps the width of its prose.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe width cap may make long text in that block wrap at a narrower width in the terminal.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
