Description
$ quarto --help
We see lines being broken (good), but at the wrong places, after the line has hit the edge and wrapped.
Seen on a Chromebook.

Research direction
Start by running quarto --help on a Chromebook or comparable terminal and compare the wrapping shown in the attached screenshot. Locate the CLI help rendering and line-wrapping entry point; done means long help lines break at appropriate places without wrapping after reaching the edge.
