fix(cli,tui): align CJK / wide-char markdown tables#23863
Merged
Conversation
CJK and emoji glyphs render as two terminal cells but JS String#length and the model's own padding count them as one, so any markdown table with Chinese / Japanese / Korean cells drifts right per row when a real terminal renders it. Both surfaces fix this with a display-cell width measurement (wcswidth on the Python side, stringWidth on the TUI side). Changes: - agent/markdown_tables.py: new helper. realign_markdown_tables(text) detects markdown table blocks (header + |---| divider) and rewrites the row padding using wcwidth.wcswidth so every pipe and dash lines up across rows. No-op on text without tables. - cli.py: hook the helper into _render_final_assistant_content for strip / render modes (raw passes through untouched), and into the streaming line emitter so live token-by-token rendering also produces aligned tables. A small two-buffer state machine in _emit_stream_text holds table rows until the block ends, then flushes them through the realigner so all rows pad to a single per-column width. - ui-tui/src/components/markdown.tsx: renderTable now uses stringWidth (Bun.stringWidth fast path + East-Asian-width-aware fallback, already memoised in @hermes/ink) instead of UTF-16 String#length for both column-width measurement and per-cell padding. Drops the comment that documented the bug as a deliberate limitation. Validation: - New tests/agent/test_markdown_tables.py (11): every rebuilt block shares pipe column offsets across rows for pure CJK, mixed CJK+emoji, ragged-row, and multi-table inputs. - Updated tests/cli/test_cli_markdown_rendering.py: the existing strip-mode test asserted exact whitespace; rewritten to assert the alignment contract (cell content survives + every rendered row shares pipe offsets). - New ui-tui markdown.test.ts case (1): rendered column-2 start offset is identical for the header + every body row, including the CJK row that drifted before the fix. - Live: hermes chat -q with the user-reported screenshot prompt now produces a perfectly aligned table on the wire (header, divider, 4 body rows including '通义千问', all pipes at identical columns).

…23948) Follow-up to #23863 (CJK table alignment). The realigner was correctly padding pipes to identical column offsets, but when a table's natural width exceeds terminal cells it produced lines that the terminal soft-wrapped mid-cell, destroying column alignment visually even though the bytes were perfectly padded. Reported as 'columns are not aligned' on tables containing one long row alongside several short rows. Approach mirrors Claude Code's MarkdownTable.tsx narrow-terminal fallback: when realign_markdown_tables is given an available_width budget and the rebuilt horizontal table exceeds it, render each body row as 'Header: value' lines separated by a thin ─ rule. Word-wraps oversize values at the budget with a 2-space continuation indent. - agent/markdown_tables.py: realign_markdown_tables(text, available_width=None); threshold check at the top of _render_block flips into a new _render_vertical fallback. Includes _wrap_to_width with hard-break for tokens longer than the budget. - cli.py: helper _terminal_width_for_streaming() returns shutil.get_terminal_size().columns minus _STREAM_PAD and a 2-cell safety margin; passed to all three realign call sites (_render_final_assistant_content for strip+render Panel paths, and the streaming flushers in _emit_stream_text / _flush_stream). - tests/agent/test_markdown_tables.py: 4 new tests covering the overflow-vertical fallback for ASCII + CJK content, the 'fits → keep horizontal' case, and the long-cell wrap with indent. Live-verified: with COLUMNS=100, the user's reported 'long row in ASCII table' case now renders as vertical key-value rows that all fit the panel; the 6-column CJK comparison table still renders as an aligned horizontal table because it fits inside 100 cols.

Summary
CJK / wide-char tables now line up. Models pad markdown tables assuming each character is one terminal cell, but Chinese / Japanese / Korean glyphs (and most emoji) render as two cells. Both the classic CLI and the TUI were measuring widths in UTF-16 code units (
str.length/String#length), so every body row drifted right of the header by N cells per CJK char.Reproduces with:
