Research direction

Start by reading the follow-up context in issue #162 and trace pytest's terminal-width handling, especially the real terminal file descriptor versus the capture descriptor at fd1. Confirm the expected behavior when output capture is active and add or update coverage so terminal width is determined from the real terminal fd.
