Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating Reedline's prompt rendering and inspect how the left and right prompts are composed; use the linked powerlevel10k examples to clarify the solid or dotted connector and color behavior. Done means connected prompts render correctly with configurable connector color, with coverage for the supported variants.
