Description

Currently this is using Ansi.getTerminalSize but that is bit finicky. Should maybe fall back on the above env vars (if they are defined).

Research direction

Start in the hxbrief code that currently calls Ansi.getTerminalSize and inspect how output dimensions are selected. Check how COLUMNS and LINES are exposed to Haskell, then verify that defined values guide the output size while the existing terminal-size behavior remains the fallback.
