What this tool does

Bounded, explicit, and local

INI is a family of related formats rather than one portable standard. This formatter uses a narrow profile, keeps values as text, and refuses constructs whose meaning would depend on a different consumer.

Formatting follows the selected grammar

Spacing and section layout are rewritten only after bounded parsing succeeds. The result does not enable Python interpolation, Git includes, PHP typed scanning, or another application's extensions.

Values remain strings

Words such as true, off, null, and numbers keep their source value meaning. A target application may interpret them later under its own contract.
