Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Rust doc-comment input and the rustfmt +nightly --config format_code_in_doc_comments=true command shown in the report. Trace the formatter’s handling of a comment followed by a hash inside a documentation code block, then verify that formatting no longer inserts a blank line containing trailing spaces and add a regression test for the reported input.
