Forbidden:
  "User Interface Design Fundamentals C…" repeated down a list, every row identical

Instead:
  Where truncation is unavoidable and items share a leading string, **crop in the middle**: "User Interface De…Chapter 2 – Typography". Truncation must preserve the part that tells items apart, which is rarely the beginning.

Better still, remove the shared prefix entirely and put it in a heading (`A-59`).
