Subject: [PATCH] Fill info block lines with characters, wrapping mid-block

The multi-line output previously wrapped only at info-block boundaries,
pushing an entire block to the next line when it didn't fit and leaving
unused space at the end of each line. Replace that with continuous
character-fill wrapping: each line is filled to line_wrap_length before
breaking, splitting in the middle of a block when needed.

Add wrapAnsiText, which counts visible width (ignoring ANSI escape
sequences), re-applies the active color at the start of each wrapped line
so colors survive a mid-block break, and keeps emoji surrogate pairs
intact. Remove the now-unused removeAnsiCodes helper.
