Thread tiles truncate the DISTINGUISHING tail: 'release test A/B/C/D' all render as 'rele/ase'
Seen on AdomLapper and ConfRoomROG during the 2.0.390 release sweep (tiles mode, four threads named 'release test A' .. 'release test D', 2-3 windows each). Every tile rendered as two lines 'rele' / 'ase': the word 'release' was split mid-word and 'test A' etc. was dropped entirely, so the four buttons are indistinguishable even though their favicon badges differ. The tile renderer (renderThreadTileIco: font floor, wrap on space/hyphen, then truncate) keeps the HEAD of the name, but for sibling threads that share a prefix the TAIL is what carries the identity. Asks: (1) never split inside a word when the name has spaces - wrap on the spaces first ('release' / 'test A' fits three short lines at the floor size); (2) when truncation is unavoidable, prefer keeping the last token ('rel.. A' or 'r. test A') over dropping it; (3) allow a third line at the font floor before truncating; (4) a tile-legibility ralph test: render the four sibling names and assert their rasters differ. Names like 'kicad-dev' / 'kicad-tour' and 'ah ship check' / 'ah ship check windows' (both live today) hit the same trap.

Mock-up: the current Node v2.0.172 layout versus this issue's whole-word wrapping (2026-09-06)
Rendered with the real tile renderer (same font, plate and anchoring) for ten thread names. Row 1: the current algorithm (font floor 36% of the tile, two lines, characters taken until the line is full, which splits words: "Fusi / on tr", "KiCa / d per-", "rele / ase" for every "release test X"). Row 2: this issue's rules: wrap on spaces, after hyphens and slashes, never inside a word while the name has separators, up to three lines down to a 29% floor, and when a word still cannot fit it is cut with an ellipsis while the LAST token is kept whole ("rele… / test / A" keeps the letter that tells A from B).
Where row 2 loses: single long words ("reclaimed" becomes "recl…" instead of "recl / aime"). A hybrid keeps the current character split for names without separators and uses the whole-word rules otherwise.
The small tile beside each is the 32 px rendering, roughly what a 100% taskbar shows.
