Misaligned borders when using Metacall CLI help command on Windows #537
Description
When using the help command in the MetaCall CLI on Windows, the borders of the help output are misaligned, making it difficult to read and follow. However, the borders are properly aligned and appear well-formatted on Linux and macOS.
Steps to Reproduce:
(1). Open the MetaCall CLI on a Windows machine, go to terminal and write metacall it will open the CLI in the terminal.
(2). Run the help command.
(3). Observe that the borders are misaligned, making the output harder to read.
Expected Behavior: The borders in the help output should be properly aligned and consistent, similar to how they appear on Linux and macOS platforms.
