Description

I expect some kind of error here, but none is produced:

f = x = y = z = 1
f(x,
    y,
  z)

perhaps E131 continuation line unaligned for hanging indent?

Start by running pycodestyle on the Python snippet in the issue and tracing how continuation-line indentation is checked. Define the expected diagnostic, then add the corresponding behavior and a regression test that confirms the inconsistent indentation is reported.
