break-all can be pretty aggressive for normal prose (may split words mid-word). You might get the same “never overflow” behavior with overflow-wrap:anywhere, which only breaks when needed.

Suggested change
<p className="text-sm text-ink break-all whitespace-pre-wrap">{item.content}</p>
<p className="text-sm text-ink break-words [overflow-wrap:anywhere] whitespace-pre-wrap">{item.content}</p>
