While this is fascinating, it's not a (brand-)new development.
Here's Archive.org's copy of the page from 2025 in September, their earliest copy:

"Safety transistors safety assessed" exists in this version too

No need to rush:

From https://webkit.org/blog/16547/better-typography-with-text-wr...
"While support for pretty shipped in Chrome 117, Edge 177, and Opera 103 in Fall 2023, and Samsung Internet 24 in 2024, the Chromium version is more limited in what it accomplishes. According to an article by the Chrome team, Chromium only makes adjustments to the last four lines of a paragraph. It’s focused on preventing short last lines. It also adjusts hyphenation if consecutive hyphenated lines appear at the end of a paragraph."
The article goes on to talk about how it's up to the browser (and not necessarily permanent) about how to handle the setting, and furthermore a new value was agreed upon to do what Chromium was doing, called "text-wrap: avoid-short-last-lines".
Here's the article on what the Chromium version does: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/css-text-wrap-pretty/

Very nice, works well.
It seems you put some menu items behind what I'll call "[space] mode," where you you have to press the spacebar first to open the command menu, then use the command.
This is not reflected properly in the help text shown when you press ? and that was a source of confusion for me.
Especially since I managed to activate the fullscreen mode for one pane AND turn it off, but then couldn't figure out how I did it; and also, I did not find the space-Q option to Quit at first.)
Edit to add, I prefer installing with pipx.
These commands worked for me, to get Postgresql and MariaDB database plugins:
pipx install sqlit-tui
cd ~/.local/pipx/venvs/sqlit-tui
source bin/activate
bin/python3 -m pip install psycopg2
sudo apt-get install -y libmariadb-dev # On Debian
bin/python3 -m pip install mariadb

I got beat to the punch in being the one to tell you, but I can add a link:

"Wadge’s Law (of Meetings).
Before every formal meeting there’s a smaller, more exclusive, less formal meeting where all the important decisions are made.
This is based on decades of experience in academia and friends’ experience in industry and government. Sometimes there’s an even smaller, more exclusive, less formal pre pre meeting where all the decisions of the pre meeting are made. Maybe even a pre pre pre meeting … until you reach some guy deciding everything in the shower."

(pretty fun read, thanks)
