change in wrapping between 4.53.3 and 4.53.4

Describe the bug
strings can no longer be extracted as written

Version of yq: 4.53.4
Operating system: linux
Installed via: docker

Input Yaml
data.yml:

a:
  - really really really really really really really really really really really long string

Command
The command you ran:

docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4.53.4 -Pr=false '.[][]' < data.yaml

Actual behaviour

really really really really really really really really really really really long
 string

Expected behaviour

really really really really really really really really really really really long string

Additional context
with the previous version I do get the expected result:

docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4.53.3 -Pr=false '.[][]' < data.yaml

and it's about -r=false ... useful for me to keep comments

data.yaml:

a:
  # comment
  - really really really really really really really really really really really long string

$ docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4.53.3 -r=false '.[][]' < data.yaml
# comment
really really really really really really really really really really really long string

 docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4.53.4 -r=false '.[][]' < data.yaml
# comment
really really really really really really really really really really really long
  string

$ docker run --rm -i mikefarah/yq:4.53.4 '.[][]' < data.yaml
really really really really really really really really really really really long string

Thanks for the quick fix. Will you also create a Release for this tag? mise needs that to download the binary.

If this is already in progress and just needs time then I apologize for pushing on this.

On it...release broke cause of the go version bump...standby 😅
