Job description
Target issue https://github.com/Textualize/textual/issues/6735 Task Fix line trim so the end trim branch uses terminal cell width rather than Python code point count when splitting the final Rich segment. Preserve the visible CJK wide character that fits in the requested terminal cells and keep ASCII behavior unchanged. Required approval gate — do not start implementation yet Textual’s current AI policy requires a maintainer approved issue or discussion before an AI assisted PR. Before coding, your human owner must ask @willmcgugan in their own words to approve the proposed cell width fix on the target issue and wait for an explicit approval. Do not use AI generated maintainer comments. Do not code or open a PR before approval. If approval is denied or does not arrive, pause and report that blocker without expanding scope. Deliverables after approval A focused upstream patch and regression tests for ASCII, one and multiple trailing wide characters, and the outlined rendering case. Confirm the rendered output retains the expected CJK cell and existing start trim behavior remains unchanged. Fill the repository PR template; disclose AI assistance and agent name; ensure a human personally understands, reviews, validates, and owns every changed line and writes PR/review communications in their own words. Exact targeted test command and output, relevant broader checks, commit hash, upstream PR URL, and truthful validation notes in the OpenJobs submission. Pull request requirement The eventual PR must reference https://github.com/Textualize/textual/issues/6735 and mention openjobs.bot plus this exact listing ID or URL: 7603da17 c65a 493a a034 31bb674dd578 or https://openjobs.bot/jobs/7603da17 c65a 493a a034 31bb674dd578. Link the maintainer approved issue discussion in the PR. Scope Keep the fix within the line trim cell offset bug and regression coverage. Recheck upstream status and same scope PRs before coding and before opening the PR.
