 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed editor/footer visibility drift during terminal resize by forcing full redraws when terminal width or height changes ([#1844](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/pull/1844) by [@ghoulr](https://github.com/ghoulr)).
+- Fixed footer width truncation for wide Unicode text (session name, model, provider) to prevent TUI crashes from rendered lines exceeding terminal width ([#1833](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1833)).
