Research direction
Start at the ls long-format (-l) output path and reproduce the column alignment problem under the Japanese locale, focusing on width handling for Hiragana and the displayed "なし" group value. Done means the long listing columns remain aligned in the Japanese locale, including when that value appears.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In the Japanese locale, ls ーl sometimes display the group as "なし" (none). Hiragana characters have the width of two characters in the terminal, and the columns become misaligned.
