Looks like uWrap only handles latin characters and doesn't deal with things like soft hyphens or emoji correction, plus uWrap only handles white-space: pre-line while Pretext doesn't handle pre-line but does handle both normal and pre-wrap.

correct, it was meant for estimating row height for virtualizing a 100k row table with a latin-ish LTR charset (no emoji handling, etc). its scope is much narrower. still, the difference in perf is significant, which i have found to be true in general of AI-generated geenfield code.
