Hmph, my hope when I designed that particular UI was that the
command prompt for the previous interaction followed by the hunk
header of the current hunk would give us clear enough separation.
For example, after answering "n" to the prompt for the previous
hunk, we'd see

The '@' (the first character of the hunk header line for the current
hunk) and "(1/2" are surrounded by lines that begin with a space,
and the hope was that it was sufficient "separator" already.
These days (long after I stopped mucking with the interactive add
code actively), the prompt line is painted in prompt_color (you can
tweak it with the color.interactive.prompt configuration variable,
it defaults to BOLD BLUE) while the first part of the hunk header
line is painted in the fraginfo color (default CYAN), which should
give you even more visual distinction.
Perhaps
[color "interactive"]
prompt = bold red reverse
would be sufficient? I dunno.
