Description
Topgrade uses multiple ― characters to separate sections. It looks like a straight line in multiple fonts but not Fira Code.
See the PR where I tried to change these long dashes to "standard" ones for screenshot examples: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade/pull/279
Menlo and JetBrains mono both render ―― as a continuous line, so we could start at as low as two.

Research direction
Start with the referenced Topgrade PR #279 and compare its screenshots of the section separators in Fira Code, Menlo, and JetBrains Mono. The issue proposes a ligature for ―― and possibly longer runs; done would mean the specified dash sequences render as continuous lines without the reported font mismatch.
