Research direction
Start with the linked Playground reproduction and the minimal PHP input containing sequential short echo tags. Trace how the formatter handles those tags and compare its output with the issue's expected formatting. Done means the reproduced input formats correctly without splitting the echoed expressions unexpectedly, with regression coverage for this case.
