Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the REPL on macOS with Ghostty using the supplied multiline history entry, then resize the terminal and invoke the history hint by navigating history or typing {. Trace the history-hint display and line-wrapping behavior; done means the prompt remains visible in a small terminal after the hint appears.
