fix(fancy): align right-side content across log types - #445
Conversation
string-width reports East Asian Ambiguous icons inconsistently: ℹ (info) and ✔ (success) as width 2, but ◐ (start) as width 1. All render as width 1 in most terminals. This inconsistency caused the right-aligned date/tag to be misaligned by 1 character between log types using different icons. Fix: calculate the icon width discrepancy (stringWidth vs actual character length) and compensate in the space calculation. This normalizes all icons to their actual terminal display width without changing the icons themselves. - 1 regression test: verify date position is equal across info/success/start - All 4 tests pass, lint clean

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The formatting fix aligns built-in log types but may shift right-aligned content for custom combining icons, and the regression test should use a locale-independent, non-vacuous timestamp assertion. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded risks. Possibly related PRs

Scope iconWidthDiff to built-in ambiguous icons
When opts.columns >= 80, a custom combining icon such as e\u0301 has stringWidth(typeStripped) === 1 but typeStripped.length === 2. This sets iconWidthDiff to -1 and shifts right-aligned content left by one column.
Apply the correction only to built-in icons that over-report their width, or use a terminal-width-aware baseline.

Make the timestamp assertion non-vacuous and locale-independent.
toLocaleTimeString() can produce values such as 00:00:00 or 4:00:00 PM. Derive expectedDate with reporter.formatDate(...), assert every position is non-negative, then compare positions.
