The chevron is the ribbon's continuation cue: it is what a wrapped line
closes with to say the path runs on past the edge, and it is the same
shape as every seam between two hops. So the last chip of a finished
route wearing one read as a route cut off mid-walk. Where the font has
the rounded caps nothing changed - they close the lozenge and always
did. Where it hasn't, the widget already squared the *opening* off and
documented that it squares both; only the close never followed. It now
appends nothing at all and the last chip's own pad is the edge.
The cell that frees up goes back to the route. `_measure` used to
report one closing figure for every line, which was true while the
close was always a point; it reports two now - what a line the path
runs on past closes with, and what the line that *ends* it closes with
- so a wrapped path measures its own last line honestly instead of
holding a cell back for a glyph that is no longer drawn. The one caller
that flows a leg of a route rather than a whole one says so, because
its final line is a continuation and still pays the point.
