Introduces an opt-in setting that scans the last N columns before the column-based wrap point and prefers a more natural break (whitespace if present, otherwise the nearest non-word character) to avoid splitting mid-word. Defaults to 0 (disabled), preserving the existing column-exact wrap. The wrap is implemented as a two-pass walk over the line: pass 1 decides all cut points from the underlying characters alone (independent of how the input was split into styled segments), pass 2 slices the segments at those cuts. This makes the per-line wrap deterministic across the syntax and diff style streams.

Supersedes #2161 (could not be reopened due to force-push).
Opt-in setting that backs the wrap point up to N columns in search of a more natural break (whitespace if present, else the nearest non-word character) instead of slicing through the middle of a word. Defaults to
0(disabled), so existing output is unchanged.Before (
