Research direction
Start with the linked Playground examples and reproduce the duplication using the PHP inputs shown in the issue. Trace how comments are formatted around alternative-syntax blocks such as if/else/endif. Done means both documentation-block and single-line comments appear only once and the closing PHP tags and else branch retain correct formatting.
