This PR attempts to improve the placement of own-line comments between
branches in the setting where the comment is more indented than the
preceding node.
There are two main changes.
### First change: Preceding node has leading content
If the preceding node has leading content, we now regard the comment as
automatically _less_ indented than the preceding node, and format
accordingly.
For example,
```python
if True: preceding_node
# leading on `else`, not trailing on `preceding_node`
else: ...
```
This is more compatible with `black`, although there is a (presumably
very uncommon) edge case:
```python
if True:
this;that
# leading on `else`, but trailing in `black`
else: ...
```
I'm sort of okay with this - presumably if one wanted a comment for
those semi-colon separated statements, one should have put it _above_
them, and one wanted a comment only for `that` then it ought to have
been on the same line?
### Second change: searching for last child in body
While searching for the (recursively) last child in the body of the
preceding _branch_, we implicitly assumed that the preceding node had to
have a body to begin the recursion. But actually, in the base case, the
preceding node _is_ the last child in the body of the preceding branch.
So, for example:
```python
if True:
something
last_child_but_no_body
# leading on else for `main` but trailing in this PR
else: ...
```
### More examples
The table below is an attempt to summarize the changes in behavior. The
rows alternate between an example snippet with `while` and the same
example with `if` - in the former case we do _not_ have an `else` node
and in the latter we do.
Notice that:
1. On `main` our handling of `if` vs. `while` is not consistent, whereas
it is consistent in the present PR
2. We disagree with `black` in all cases except that last example on
`main`, but agree in all cases for the present PR (though see above for
a wonky edge case where we disagree).

Ruff Formatter
The Ruff formatter is an extremely fast Python code formatter that ships as part of the ruff
CLI.
Goals
The formatter is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Black, but with an excessive focus on performance and direct integration with Ruff.
Specifically, the formatter is intended to emit near-identical output when run over Black-formatted code. When run over extensive Black-formatted projects like Django and Zulip, > 99.9% of lines are formatted identically. When migrating an existing project from Black to Ruff, you should expect to see a few differences on the margins, but the vast majority of your code should be unchanged.
If you identify deviations in your project, spot-check them against the intentional deviations enumerated below, as well as the unintentional deviations filed in the issue tracker. If you've identified a new deviation, please file an issue.
When run over non-Black-formatted code, the formatter makes some different decisions than Black, and so more deviations should be expected, especially around the treatment of end-of-line comments. For details, see Style Guide.
