* feat: add word wrapping mode for --wrap flag
* Run `cargo fmt` and add CHANGELOG entry
* Add word wrap tests, update manpage and shell completions
- Add integration tests for word wrapping: basic word boundary breaking,
fallback to character wrapping for long words, line numbers, and
short lines that fit without wrapping
- Update manpage to document the new 'word' wrapping mode
- Update bash, fish, zsh, and PowerShell completions with 'word' option
- Avoid unnecessary clone of `line_buf` when word wrap is disabled
* make clippy and cargo fmt happy

when a configured pager (via BAT_PAGER, PAGER, or --pager) is not found,
bat now shows a warning message before falling back to stdout. this helps
users understand why their pager isn't running and makes it obvious when
there's a typo or PATH issue.
fixes issue #2904
- Retrieve less version earlier in src/output.rs.
- Skip -K argument if less is detected as BusyBox version.
- Reuses the version check for the existing --no-init logic.
- Fixes#3518.
When the -n/--number flag is passed on the command line, bat now shows
line numbers even when piping output to another process (loop-through
mode), similar to how `cat -n` behaves.
This change detects if -n or --number was passed on the CLI (before
merging with config file and environment variables) and disables
loop-through mode in that case, allowing the InteractivePrinter to
add line numbers.
The existing behavior is preserved:
- Styles from config/env are still ignored when piping (unless --decorations=always is set)
- Only the -n flag from CLI enables line numbers in piped mode
- -p and --style options from CLI do not disable loop-through mode
