Its hint can now carry an extra piece of text, shown dimmed after a `\u00b7` separator. That extra text appears only when it fits in the space available, and the footer now tells the hint how much room a wrapped line has. This is part of wider rework of the footer layout.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe footer hint can carry more information when your terminal is wide enough, without spilling onto another line when it is not.\n\n- Area: Footer\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
