+| `wrap?` | `boolean` | `false` | When true, the cell allows its content to wrap onto multiple lines within a bounded width instead of staying on a single line. Use for columns holding long free-form text (descriptions, notes, messages); otherwise cells hug their content and the table scrolls horizontally. |
