Wide markdown tables collapse into stacked key-value cards instead of rendering as tables

Description

When Claude generates a markdown table that exceeds the terminal width, the Ink/React renderer collapses it into a vertical key-value card format (one card per row, separated by horizontal rules). This makes tabular data nearly impossible to scan — 5 rows that would fit in one table view fill multiple screens of vertical cards.

Reproduction

Ask Claude to output any markdown table with 6+ columns of moderate width. The renderer will collapse it into stacked cards.

Expected vs Actual

The model outputs valid markdown tables. Writing the same response to a file and opening in VS Code confirms this:

VS Code (file output) — correct:

Terminal (Ink renderer) — collapsed to cards:
