Description
Using the current dev version of styler, devtools::install_github("rlib/styler"), and having "files.insertFinalNewline": true in the R-specific settings, saving a file formats it fine, adding a trailing newline.
However, manually selecting "Format Document" on that same file removes that newline again.

Research direction
Reproduce the difference between saving an R file and manually selecting “Format Document” with files.insertFinalNewline set to true. Trace the two formatting entry points and compare how they handle the trailing newline. Done means manual formatting preserves the final newline, matching save behavior.
