Fix ANSI escape sequences being split at wrapLine boundaries

[shellicar]

Problem

wrapLine iterated over graphemes with Intl.Segmenter and called stringWidth on each individual grapheme. ANSI escape sequences like \x1b[7m were split into their component characters (\x1b, [, 7, m) by the segmenter.

This produced two visible symptoms:

Symptom A — the ESC byte has zero measured width so it stuck to the old line, while the remaining chars ([7m) each measured as width 1 and rendered as literal text on the new line. This is the [7m visible in the terminal screenshot.

Symptom B — the non-ESC bytes of any ANSI sequence inflate the apparent line width by the number of those bytes, causing the split to fire too early. A \x1b[33m prefix made the line look 3 cols wider than it was, so only 7 visible chars would fit on a 10-col line instead of 10.

Fix

Tokenize the string into ANSI sequences and plain-text runs before iterating graphemes. ANSI sequences are buffered in pendingAnsi and prepended to whichever wrapped line receives the next visible character, so they always travel with their target rather than being stranded.

The CSI regex (ESC [ params final-letter) is written as new RegExp rather than a literal to avoid Biome's noControlCharactersInRegex rule.

Tests

Added 5 tests to a new test/reflow.spec.ts (also wires up vitest for claude-core, which previously had no test runner):

• Plain text wrapping — regression baseline
• No-wrap early return — regression baseline
• Symptom A: ESC stranded at boundary (cursor at EOL)
• Symptom B: color codes before text shift the split column
• Symptom B: mid-line cursor sequence shifts the split column

All 903 workspace tests pass.

Clean ANSI-aware reflow fix. Tests first, focused scope 🍌

The tokenize-then-buffer approach is the right call. Splitting ANSI sequences into graphemes was always going to break — Intl.Segmenter has no concept of escape sequences. The pendingAnsi buffer pattern ensures ANSI codes travel atomically with their target visible character. No post-processing pass, no fixup logic.

ANSI_RE scope: \x1b\[[^a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z] covers CSI sequences only. Correct for this codebase (cursor, color, reset). OSC (\x1b]), raw ESC, and other forms aren't produced by the ANSI helpers. Good scoping decision.

Edge case check — trailing ANSI with no following visible char: pendingAnsi accumulates, never flushed by placeChar, then current += pendingAnsi at the end catches it. Falls through to result.push(current). Handled correctly.

Edge case check — consecutive ANSI sequences: Multiple codes without intervening text (\x1b[1m\x1b[33m) concatenate in pendingAnsi and flush together on the next visible char. Correct.

Tests: Clear symptom-based naming. Importing actual ANSI constants from ../src/ansi rather than hardcoding escape strings means the tests break if the constants change. Good coupling.

computeLineSegments/rewrapFromSegments left for separate PR: Noted in the session log. Same root cause, different call site. Correct scoping.

vitest.config.ts: Missing trailing semicolon after }); — Biome may or may not care depending on your config, but worth checking for consistency.

No sensitive data, no reverted changes, no suspect files. Session log addition is documentation, not artifacts.
