Description
I don't know in which formatter I saw this (might have been ruff but can't find it there anymore), but one of them has this really nice feature that minor max-line-length violations are acceptable, if wrapping would result in ugliness. In particular this means that it will
not auto-wrap a comment if the next line would contain just one word. It would either wrap earlier (to have 2-3 words in the new line) or accept that the line will be slightly longer than the usual maximum.

Research direction

Start by locating the formatter’s existing max-line-length wrapping logic and its tests; clarify whether avoiding a one-word final line should permit an overlong line or trigger an earlier break, then add coverage for the chosen behavior.
