Description
Feature
--pretty flag has all the features minus the soft word wrap
--word-wrap flag enables the soft word wrap
Pitch
Currently trying to add annotations during my mypy GHA workflow. However, parsing the full error message is difficult with the --pretty flag b/c it adds line breaks into the full error message which adds complexity to the error message matching regex. Although we could run it with --no-pretty this removes useful information such as code snippets and error location markers. It would be great if we could disable the word wrap/keep the error description on one line.

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line handling for the --pretty and --word-wrap flags, then trace how pretty error output is formatted. The change is done when pretty output keeps its existing snippets and location markers while word wrapping can be enabled or disabled independently, with coverage for both flag settings.
