Case contract

Input [words, width]. A single-letter preposition/conjunction (a i o u v z k s w, any case) is bound to the following word, chaining; a number (digits with optional . or , decimal) is bound to a following unit (kg km cm mm % pt px). Bound groups are unbreakable; greedy fill of groups with unit spaces; an overwide group is set alone. Return lines.

Why this case matters

Line breaking decides where paragraphs wrap on screen and in print; a wrong decision point shifts every following line.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: single-letter case folding	`["dom\u011b V", "s Praze", "k"]`	`["dom\u011b", "V s Praze", "k"]`	Failed
