Research direction

Reproduce the issue with includes\get-approve-email.php using the PHP parser and the listed Prettier options, comparing the first format and repeated saves. Trace the formatter path responsible for short PHP tags. Done means formatting the file repeatedly no longer appends duplicate PHP close tags.
