Indentation issue with inline comments in sequences

[kyle-figure]

Hello,

When an inline comment is in a sequence, Yaml formatters like Prettier and the Redhat YAML VSCode extension format it like so:

---
foo: [
    1, # Comment
  ]

However, this produces the following warning and error from yamllint 1.35.1.

Command: yamllint test.yaml
Output:

test.yaml
  3:8       warning  too few spaces before comment  (comments)
  4:3       error    wrong indentation: expected 0 but found 2  (indentation)

I confirmed that test.yaml can be loaded with Python's Yaml package.

Is yamllint using an overly strict indentation check here? Or is it the formatters' fault for not aligning the closing brace with the previous block of code?

Why use the compact/JSON notation if you're going to break it into multiple lines anyway? This is more concise and the more "YAML" way of doing the same thing.

foo:
  - 1  # Comment

That is a good tip. We can just change it to:

foo:
  - [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] # Descriptive comment 1
  - [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] # Descriptive comment 2

Now we only get warnings about there being too few spaces before the comments.
Thanks!
