Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been requested.
Summary
Formatter always format code as the specified indent style no matter how long the statement is:
# before
$foo = if ($true) {1} else {0}
# after
$foo = if ($true) {
1
} else {
0
}
# expected
$foo = if ($true) { 1 } else { 0 }
The code became too sparse by being enforced to the indentation style.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Reproduce the formatter behavior with the PowerShell example in the issue, then locate the formatter implementation and its existing tests. Determine how the line-length condition should affect indentation enforcement; done means short statements retain the compact form shown under “expected” without breaking the formatter’s existing behavior.
