Breadcrumbs shouldn't wrap

Research direction
Investigate the Breadcrumbs component's CSS and rendering logic. The issue occurs when breadcrumbs wrap due to container width; setting white space: nowrap on individual breadcrumbs breaks collapsing. Look at the Breadcrumbs component source in packages/core/src/components/breadcrumbs/ and understand how collapsing is implemented. Consider using CSS to prevent wrapping while preserving collapse behavior, possibly by applying white space: nowrap to the last breadcrumb or using overflow hidden with text overflow ellipsis.
