+one — and they are carved back out into a curated *wide* set (:data:`_DEFAULT_WIDE_BASE`, extended
+without a code change via ``MESHTERM_WIDE_EMOJI``) counted two in **both** authorities. A VS16
+sequence lands here when the "width 1" verdict is wrong for it: the renderer is not uniform — the
+probe ``☀️`` paints in one cell, but ``🛩️`` (a small airplane, U+1F6E9 U+FE0F) paints in two, and
+narrowing it along with the rest pulls its chat-row border a column short and smears the line. A
+*lone* codepoint lands here for a plainer reason: an emoji outside Emoji_Presentation whose
+East-Asian width is Neutral (``🛣``, U+1F6E3) is measured as one cell by Rich and wcwidth alike,
+yet the font draws it as a two-cell colour glyph — never narrowed, just never measured right, so
+it overruns its row by a column wherever the row pads to a width. Either way it is the mirror image
+of the lone-narrow allowlist, curated for the same reason: which glyph a terminal draws wide is the
+font's business, not the codepoint's, and a cursor probe reads the PTY, not the renderer. Keyed on
