Research direction
Start by reproducing the example through VS Code's Format Document command with the Java extension, using the Ubuntu and JDK versions listed. Trace the formatting entry point and determine where conditional statements are formatted; done means if/else/while/do statements without brackets consistently receive brackets without changing other formatting behavior.
