- Adjusted string truncation logic to account for single-character Unicode ellipsis instead of three-character ASCII ellipsis, reducing reserved space from 3 to 1 character in truncation calculations.
- Updated truncation offsets in multiple files (session-manager, agent, executor, footer) to preserve 2 additional characters before ellipsis due to more compact Unicode representation.
