### UTF-8 Safe String Slicing Pattern
**Problem**: Rust string slices (`&s[..n]`) use byte indices, not character indices. Multi-byte UTF-8 characters (emoji, bullets `•`, `×`, `⚡`) cause panics if sliced mid-character.

**Solution**: Use `char_indices()` to find byte boundaries:
```rust
// Get byte index of the Nth character
let byte_idx = s.char_indices()
    .nth(char_limit)
    .map(|(i, _)| i)
    .unwrap_or(s.len());
let truncated = &s[..byte_idx];

// For length checks, use chars().count() not len()
if s.chars().count() <= max_len { ... }
```



**Danger zones**: Display truncation, ACD stubs, user input handling, any string with non-ASCII characters.
