+Currently, _Black_ uses the issue tracker for bugs, feature requests, proposed style
modifications, and general user support. Each of these issues have to be triaged so they
can be eventually be resolved somehow. This document outlines the triaging process and
also the current guidelines and recommendations.
1. _the issue is waiting for triage_
2. **identified** - has been marked with a type label and other relevant labels, more
details or a functional reproduction may be still needed (and therefore should be
- marked with `S: needs repro` or `S: awaiting reponse`)
+ marked with `S: needs repro` or `S: awaiting response`)
3. **confirmed** - the issue can reproduced and necessary details have been provided
4. **discussion** - initial triage has been done and now the general details on how the
issue should be best resolved are being hashed out
- the issue has been fixed
- duplicate of another pre-existing issue or is invalid
-For enhancement, documentation, and design issues, the lifecycle looks very similar but
+For enhancement, documentation, and style issues, the lifecycle looks very similar but
the details are different:
1. _the issue is waiting for triage_
2. **identified** - has been marked with a type label and other relevant labels
3. **discussion** - the merits of the suggested changes are currently being discussed, a

+ PR would be acceptable but would be at significant risk of being rejected
4. **accepted & awaiting PR** - it's been determined the suggested changes are OK and a
PR would be welcomed (`S: accepted`)
5. **closed**: - the issue has been resolved, reasons include:
For most issues, closing the issue manually or automatically after a resolving PR is
ideal. For bug reports specifically, if the bug has already been fixed, try to check in
-with the issue opener that their specific case has been resolved before closing.
+with the issue opener that their specific case has been resolved before closing. Note
+that we close issues as soon as they're fixed in the `main` branch. This doesn't
+necessarily mean they've been released yet.
Design and enhancement issues should be also closed when it's clear the proposed change
won't be implemented, whether that has been determined after a lot of discussion or just

Black used to remove the trailing comma if the expression fits in a single line, but this was changed by #826 and #1288. Now a trailing comma tells Black to always explode the expression. This change was made mostly for the cases where you _know_ a collection or whatever will grow in the future. Having it always exploded as one element per line reduces diff noise when adding elements. Before the "magic trailing comma" feature, you couldn't anticipate a collection's growth reliably since collections that fitted in one line were ruthlessly collapsed regardless of your intentions. One of Black's goals is reducing diff noise, so this was a good pragmatic change.
-So no, this is not a bug, but an intended feature. Anyway, [here's the documentation](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#the-magic-trailing-comma) on the "magic trailing comma". Hopefully that helps and sorry for the possible confusion.

Anyway, [here's the documentation](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#the-magic-trailing-comma) on the "magic trailing comma", including the ability to skip this functionality with the `--skip-magic-trailing-comma` option. Hopefully that helps solve the possible confusion.
