The size appears only when at least 1000 characters are hidden. Smaller cuts still show just the line count and the hint for expanding the output.\n\n**Why**\n\nA line count alone can hide a lot. A few very long lines may be much bigger than they look. The size lets you judge whether the hidden part is worth opening.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
