Literal
\nsequences in YAML panel description fields (e.g.background,border, or content items) were silently ignored as line separators. Only descriptions coming from translated locale keys worked reliably, since locale files produce actual newline characters. Plain-text descriptions written directly in the panel YAML had no way to span multiple lore lines.Root cause
PanelItemBuilder.description(String)splits on\n(actual newline char). SnakeYAML only produces actual newlines from double-quoted strings — plain and single-quoted strings preserve\nas the two-character literal sequence\\n, which the split never matched.Fix
PanelItemBuilder.description(String)— normalise literal\\n→\nbefore splitting, making all three YAML string styles work:PanelItemBuilderTest— addstestDescriptionStringWithActualNewlineandtestDescriptionStringWithLiteralBackslashNto cover both code paths.Original prompt
