What issue are you seeing?

Text does not reflow if the terminal's width is increased or decreased. This is very annoying if you work with a tililng window manager (i3), where terminal width is rarely fixed when opening and closing stuff.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Start terminal at certain width (eg narrow)

Resize it:

Opposite version (start wide):

Resize small:

What is the expected behavior?

Nice reflow like claude code
