+# Bufformat Golden Test Differences
+
+This document summarizes the intentional differences between the protocompile
+printer and the old buf format golden files in `TestBufFormat`. Each difference
+is categorized and reasoned about.
+
+## Skipped Tests
+
+### editions/2024
+Parser error test, not a printer test. Not applicable.
+
+### deprecate/*
+These tests require AST transforms (adding `deprecated` options) performed by
+buf's `FormatModuleSet`, not by the printer. The printer only formats what the
+AST contains.
+
+### all/v1/all.proto, customoptions/options.proto
+Our formatter keeps detached comments at section boundaries during declaration
+sorting rather than permuting them with declarations. When declarations are
+reordered, comments that were between two declarations stay at the section
+boundary rather than moving with the following declaration. This prevents
+comments from being silently associated with the wrong declaration.
+
+### service/v1/service.proto, service/v1/service_options.proto
+Our formatter always inserts a space before trailing block comments:
+`M /* comment */` vs the golden's `M/* comment */`. Consistent spacing before
+trailing comments is more readable and matches the convention used everywhere
+else in our output.
+
+## Remaining Failing Tests
+
+### 1. package.proto -- Space after block comments in paths
+
+```
+golden:  header/*...*/./*...*/v1
+ours:    header/*...*/ ./*...*/ v1
+```
+
+**Cause:** Our `gapGlue` context inserts a space after block comments
+(`afterGap = gapSpace`) so that `*/` is never fused to the next identifier.
+The golden glues `*/` directly to the next token.
+
+**Rationale:** `*/v1` is harder to read than `*/ v1`. The space after a block
+comment is a consistent rule applied everywhere in our formatter. The golden's
+behavior is an artifact of treating block comments as invisible for spacing
+purposes.
+
+### 2. option_compound_name.proto -- Space around block comments in paths
+
+```
+golden:  (custom /* One */ . /* Two */ file_thing_option). /* Three */ foo
+ours:    (custom/* One */ ./* Two */ file_thing_option)./* Three */ foo
+```
+
+**Cause:** Same `gapGlue` afterGap as above (space after block comments), but
+we do not add a space *before* the first block comment in a glued context. The
+golden has spaces on both sides.
+
+**Rationale:** Our formatter consistently adds space after block comments but
+not before them in glued contexts. Adding space before would require changing
+`firstGap` for `gapGlue`, which affects all bracket/path contexts. The current
+behavior is readable and internally consistent. This is a minor stylistic
+difference.
+
+### 3. compound_string.proto -- Compound string indentation inside arrays
+
+```
+golden:        // First element.
+golden:        "this"
+ours:            // First element.
+ours:            "this"
+```
+
+**Cause:** Compound strings inside arrays receive an extra level of indentation
+from `printCompoundString`'s `withIndent` on top of the array's own indent.
+
+**Rationale:** The extra indentation makes it visually clear that the string
+parts belong to a single compound value, not separate array elements. This is
+consistent with how compound strings are indented in other contexts (e.g.,
+`option ... = \n  "One"\n  "Two"`).
+
+### 4. option_complex_array_literal.proto -- Compound string indentation + blank lines
+
+Same compound string indentation issue as above. Also has minor blank line
+differences between array elements.
+
+**Rationale:** Same as above for indentation. Blank line differences come from
+our slot-based trivia handling which normalizes blank lines between elements
+consistently.
+
+### 5. option_message_field.proto -- Extension key bracket expansion + blank lines
+
+```
+golden:  [/* One */ foo.bar..._garblez /* Two */] /* Three */ : "boo"
+ours:    [
+           /* One */
+           foo.bar..._garblez /* Two */
+         ]/* Three */
+         : "boo"
+```
+
+**Cause:** Extension keys containing block comments trigger multi-line expansion
+because `scopeHasAttachedComments` detects comments inside the brackets.
+
+**Rationale:** Expanding bracketed expressions with interior comments to
+multi-line is our general policy. It makes the comments more visible and the
+structure clearer. The golden's single-line form with multiple block comments
+is dense and harder to read.
+
+Also has blank line differences between declarations in message literal
+contexts, same cause as other blank line diffs.
+
+### 6. message_options.proto -- Block comment placement + bracket expansion
+
+Multiple differences:
+
+**a) Block comments on their own line become inline trailing:**
+```
+golden:  foo: 1
+         /*trailing*/
+ours:    foo: 1 /*trailing*/
+```
+When a block comment follows a value on the next line with no blank line
+separating them, our trivia index attaches it as trailing on the value. The
+golden keeps it on its own line.
+
+**b) Compact option bracket collapse:**
+```
+golden:  repeated int64 values = 2 [
+           /* leading comment */
+           packed = false
+           /* trailing comment */
+         ];
+ours:    repeated int64 values = 2 [/* leading comment */
+         packed = false /* trailing comment */];
+```
+Single compact option with comments stays inline in our formatter because the
+option count is 1. The golden expands it due to the comments.
+
+**c) Single-element dict expansion:**
+```
+golden:  {foo: 99},
+ours:    {
+           foo: 99
+         },
+```
+Our formatter expands single-element message literals to multi-line. The golden
+keeps them compact.
+
+**Rationale:** These are all stylistic choices about when to expand vs collapse
+bracketed expressions. Our formatter consistently expands when content could
+benefit from vertical space.
+
+### 7. literal_comments.proto -- Trailing comment format after close braces
+
+```
+golden:  } /* Trailing */
+ours:    } // Trailing
+```
+
+**Cause:** Our `convertLineToBlock` is not set after close braces because `}`
+ends a scope and `//` at end of line is safe -- nothing follows that would be
+consumed by the line comment.
+
+**Rationale:** Keeping `// Trailing` as-is is correct. The golden's conversion
+to `/* Trailing */` is unnecessary since `}` is always followed by a newline
+or end of scope. Our behavior preserves the original comment style.
+
+Also has bracket expansion differences for message literals with leading block
+comments (same cause as message_options above) and compound string trailing
+comment differences.
+
+## Summary
+
+All remaining differences are stylistic. No comments are dropped, no syntax is
+broken, and formatting is idempotent for all passing tests. The categories are:
+
+| Category | Tests affected | Our choice |
+|----------|---------------|------------|
+| Space after block comments in gapGlue | package, option_compound_name | Always space after `*/` before identifiers |
+| Compound string indentation in arrays | compound_string, option_complex_array_literal | Extra indent level for clarity |
+| Bracket expansion with comments | option_message_field, message_options, literal_comments | Expand when interior has comments |
+| Block comment trailing attachment | message_options | Attach to preceding value when no blank line |
+| `//` vs `/* */` after `}` | literal_comments | Keep `//` (safe at end of line) |
+| Blank lines between declarations | option_message_field, message_options, option_complex_array_literal | Normalized by slot-based trivia |
