 Most likely because it is ignored in `.gitignore` or excluded with configuration. See

+_Black_ is timid about formatting Jupyter Notebooks. Cells containing any of the

+- automagics (e.g. `pip install black`)

+- invalid syntax, as it can't be safely distinguished from automagics in the absence of

+## Why does my linter or typechecker complain after I format my code?

+Some linters and other tools use magical comments (e.g., `# noqa`, `# type: ignore`) to
+influence their behavior. While Black does its best to recognize such comments and leave
+them in the right place, this detection is not and cannot be perfect. Therefore, you'll
